36. So let’s start from day one,
user one ( you )

37. Day One, User One
• A single EC2 Instance
• With full stack on this host
• Web app
• Database
• Management
• Etc.
• A single Elastic IP
• Route53 for DNS

Amazon
User Route 53

38. “We’re gonna need a bigger box”
• Simplest approach
• Can now leverage PIOPs
• High I/O instances
• High memory instances
• High CPU instances
• High storage instances
• Easy to change instance sizes
• Will hit an endpoint eventually

40. Day One, User One
• We could potentially get to a few
hundred to a few thousand depending
on application complexity and traffic
• No failover
• No redundancy
• All our eggs in one basket EC2

41. Day One, User One:
• We could potentially get to a few

• No failover

42. Day Two, User >1
First let’s separate out our single
host into more than one.
• Web
• Database
• Make use of a database service?

44. But how do I choose what
DB technology I need?
SQL? NoSQL?
Not a binary decision!

45. User >100
First let’s separate out our single
host into more than one

• Database
• Use RDS to make your life easier RDS DB

46. User > 1000
Next let’s address our lack of
failover and redundancy issues
• Elastic Load Balancing
• Another web instance
• In another Availability Zone
• Enable Amazon RDS multi-AZ

47. • Create highly scalable applications

48. Scaling this horizontally and
vertically will get us pretty
far

50. This will take us pretty far
honestly, but we care about
performance and efficiency, so
let’s clean this up a bit

51. Shift Some Load Around
Let’s lighten the load on our
web and database instances:
• Move static content from the web
Instance to Amazon S3 and
CloudFront
• Move dynamic content from the
Elastic Load Balancing to
CloudFront
• Move session/state and DB
caching to ElastiCache or Amazon
DynamoDB

52. Working with S3 – Amazon Simple Storage Service
• Object-based storage for the web
• 11 9s of durability
• Good for things like:
• Static assets ( css, js, images, videos )
• Backups
• Logs
• Ingest of files for processing
• “Infinitely scalable”
• Supports fine grained permission control
• Ties in well with CloudFront
• Ties in with Amazon EMR
• Acts as a logging endpoint for Amazon S3,
CloudFront, Billing
• Supports encryption at transit and at rest
• Reduced redundancy 1/3 cheaper
• Amazon Glacier for super long term storage

53. Amazon CloudFront is a web service for
scalable content delivery.
• Cache static content at the edge for faster delivery
• Helps lower load on origin infrastructure
• Dynamic and static content
• Streaming video
• Zone apex support
• Custom SSL certificates
• Low TTLs ( as short as 0 seconds )
• Lower costs for origin fetches ( between Amazon S3/
EC2 and CloudFront )
• Optimized to work with EC2, Amazon S3, Elastic
Load Balancing, and Route53
