Cutting-Edge Architectures Based on AppSync, Lambda, and Fargate

Cutting-Edge Architectures Based on AppSync, Lambda, and Fargate

AWS is changing and innovating fast. It’s about time to ask: How does a cutting-edge architecture for a web application on AWS look like? You will be surprised about the new possibilities to build highly scalable and fault-tolerant applications with minimum effort. You definitely should join this talk when you are planning to start a new project from scratch or think about re-architecting existing applications. You will learn about two innovative approaches for building web applications on AWS during this talk:

* Serverless with AWS AppSync (GraphQL), AWS Lambda, and Amazon DynamoDB
* Containerized with AWS ALB, AWS Fargate, and Amazon Aurora.

After introducing all parts of the architecture, we will discuss the technical details of each service. Next, you will learn about pitfalls and limitations. Afterwards, you will get a live demo of all parts. On top of that, you will learn how to do continuous deployment and operations for both architectures.
