Benjamin Thurgood from AWS
Cloud is awesome, you can scale your web app or site on demand! But where do you start when you’re planning for bi g numbers of users. Making some design choices up front can dramatically simplify your life later.
Benjamin showed how best to link together different AWS services and using the capabilities of the AWS platform.
Autoscaling is only the beginning, there’s a lot more to look at.
Use Native Sevices
First step is to use the AWS Global Infrastructure with Edge locations. Take advantage of the global AWS platfom so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Many native features available like Cloudfront, S3, DynamoDB, EFS etc.
EC2, EBS, RDS etc are scalable but you need to work a little harder.
Lightsail is an easy way to get started as a developer.
You can scale up but you’ll reach an end some time.
