Expert take: what AWS Developer really tests

The AWS Certified Developer – Associate is a hands-on development exam centred on serverless and the SDK: Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway and S3 recur throughout, and its largest domain is developing with AWS services (32%). Security is a bigger part than many expect (26%) — IAM, Cognito and encryption in application context — so candidates who only practise the "happy path" of building apps tend to lose marks on the security and troubleshooting questions.
