The document provides an overview of AWS mobile services for building and running mobile apps. It discusses services for user authentication (Cognito), testing apps (Device Farm), backend functionality (Lambda, API Gateway), analytics (Pinpoint), and more. It also describes how AWS Mobile Hub can be used to quickly integrate these services and accelerate app development.

9. Simple mobile backend
Use Mobile Hub to quickly store and retrieve app data in Amazon DynamoDB.
Example: Build a backend to update game scores

10. Serverless Backend for Mobile Apps
Use Mobile Hub to quickly configure serverless backends using AWS Lambda and
Amazon API Gateway
Example: Build a social messaging app
Pinpoint
Engage app users

11. Secure Enterprise App
Use Mobile Hub to develop employee- and customer-facing mobile apps
Example: Build an inventory management application

19. Inovicing SaaS for micro businesses in Italy

CEO & Founder

21. Who we are
• Invoicing SaaS leader in Italy
• Almost 20.000 active paying users
• 7+ million page views a month

22. The Challenge
• Scale to tens of thousands users
• Decoupling resources
• Almost zero downtime
• Security of the entire infrastructure

23. The old way

24. The new way

25. How we leverage on AWS
• Security and reliability of each component
• Load balancers with autoscaling of EC2 instances
(removes the computation bottleneck)
• Managed MySQL server with RDS Aurora
(reduces the database bottleneck)
• Scalable S3 storage service
(removes the storage bottleneck)

26. Auto Scaling is awesome
1.5 average running instances (between 1 and 8 based on workloads) with autoscaling
versus 3 fixed instances = 50% Cost reduction + Better performances

27. 2016 Balance
• MySQL (and then Aurora) never had any issue (0% downtime)
• Storage S3 never had any issue (0% downtime)
• When a single instance had an issue, nothing bad happened
• When a whole group of instances had an issue (very unlikely), the
downtime didn’t propagate (~0.01% downtime happened when we
had a single instance as minimum size for the auto scaling group)

28. What’s next with AWS
• Serverless architectures (AWS Lambda)
• Amazon Machine Learning
• Amazon Lex for Bots development
• Amazon QuickSight
