DVC02 - Cutting-edge architectures based on AWS AppSync, Lambda, and Fargate

AWS is changing and innovating fast. It's time to ask: What does a cutting-edge architecture for a web application on AWS look like? You will be surprised at the new possibilities for building highly scalable and fault-tolerant applications with minimum effort. Join this talk if you are planning to start a new project from scratch or thinking about re-architecting existing applications. 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 Application Load Balancer (ALB), AWS Fargate, and Amazon Aurora.

  2. Agenda • A brief history of AWS architectures • Why

    cutting-edge architectures matter • AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB • ALB + Fargate + Aurora • Summary
  3. Goals • Low operational effort • Cost-effective • Highly available

    • Scalable • Automated deployment • Future proof
  4. AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB AWS AppSync Amazon DynamoDB Vue.js

    Apollo GraphQL AWS Cloud S3 Bucket HTML, JS, CSS Lambda function
  5. ALB + Fargate + Aurora Elastic Load Balancing ALB AWS

    Fargate Amazon Aurora Serverless AWS Cloud Container Container
  6. Pitfalls + Limitations • Aurora Serverless needs some time to

    start when stopped (optional) • No SLA for Aurora Serverless • „single AZ with multi AZ failover“
  7. • ECS/EKS with EC2 requires a lot of heavy lifting

    • Fargate is the choice to run existing, dockerized applications on AWS • AppSync is beginner friendly and much easier to use than API Gateway • DynamoDB on-demand offers a maintenance free database • Aurora Serverless solves the scalability challenge for relational databases Summary
