Hello Reader, Are you thinking about becoming an AWS Solutions Architect and working at top companies? Data shows that Solution Architects earn between $200,000/year and $500,000+/year. When looking into becoming an SA it's really common to get overwhelmed and discouraged real quick. The number of potential paths. But... As a top L7 Principal SA who is working on real-world projects, I'm opening the door to my SA bootcamp again - and the previous cohort already helped students secure cloud jobs in top companies, including at AWS, Microsoft, Google, Datadog, JPMC, Reddit, and some of them didn't even have cloud or coding experience đź’°. I'm going to walk you through the process of becoming a Solution Architect. The technical, the non-technical, and everything in between:
Live classes occur at 12 PM EST on Saturdays. All calls are recorded. Rukmani Vijaykumar, who got SA job at AWS, said: "I secured a Solutions Architect job at AWS after going through Raj’s SA bootcamp. Before joining, I felt overwhelmed by the huge amount of material out there and didn’t know what to focus on or where to start. This bootcamp was structured in a way that made everything clear. The coursework is incredibly well-organized, the hands-on sessions, and premium mock interviews helped me build confidence in areas where I was lacking. Raj’s mentorship, combined with the supportive bootcamp community, kept me motivated and on track. I recommend this bootcamp 200% for anyone serious about achieving their goals!" Sr. Solutions Architects make upwards of $350,000/Yr, and Principal Solutions Architects make over $450,000/Yr in Big Tech and top companies (Source: levels.fyi). This single step to invest in this bootcamp can skyrocket your career, income, and job satisfaction. And there is a FREE LIVE launch for the the 8th cohort that you can join in coming weeks:
Here’s what you get when you show up LIVE:
Spots are limited, so don't miss it! See you in the LIVE free workshop, Raj |

Hello Reader, Back in 2025 at AWS, as a L7 Principal Solutions Architect, I was building many customer Gen AI chatbots. We threw entire PDFs into the system and wondered why responses were garbage. “RAG is simple,” we thought. “Just embed documents and query them.” We were so wrong. Today, everyone’s jumping on the RAG bandwagon. But most are making the same mistakes I made two years back. In this newsletter, we’re going deep into the hidden mechanics of RAG that actually determine success or...
Hello Reader, As a former Principal Solutions Architect at AWS, and Distinguished Cloud Architect at Verizon, I conducted 300+ interviews. And every cloud interview has this question. Every. Single. One. "How will you make your application scalable for a big traffic day?" And almost every candidate gives the same answer: "I'll use an Auto Scaling Group with EC2s and a load balancer to distribute traffic." Technically correct. Completely average. Three years ago that answer was fine. Today it...
Hello Reader, "Are microservices better than monolith?" - this is a very popular interview question and real world project topic. Another variation of this is asking differences between monolith and microservices. Let me clear something up right away: monolith is not the bad guy. When I conducted hundreds of interviews at AWS as Principal Solutions Architect, I have seen candidates walk into interviews ready to trash the monolith and declare microservices the winner. That is the wrong move....
