I passed the AWS Certified Developer Associate exam, and here I am going to describe all the steps that I did to study for this exam.

Before starting to talk about how I did it, it is important to refer that I already had experience with AWS cloud provider, you can check it in my LinkedIn profile.

I will not lie, the professional experience helped a lot, at the least the part of API Gateways, lambdas, queues, data stream, storage, security.
EC2, containers, VPC, Load Balancers: with these topics, I never worked professionally.

First of all, I read the following whitepapers:

• Serverless Architectures with AWS Lambda
• Running Containerized Microservices on AWS
• Practicing Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery on AWS
• Optimizing Enterprise Economics with Serverless Architectures
• AWS Well-Architected Framework
• Blue/Green Deployments on AWS

Then my I focused on AWS practice exams. I used the ones created by Neal Davis.
