About this program
Architects decide how products survive traffic spikes, outages and budgets. This program teaches you to think in trade-offs, the way our senior engineers do when they design systems for global users.
It maps to the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam and ends with scenario-based design challenges.
After this program you can join the 6-month internship and take part in the ownership model: build an Incred vertical and earn a share, sell your product locally, or pitch your own idea for funding.
