Ask HN: What AWS products would you use for a new web app?
I am planning to start a new project with the following tech specs: php, mysql/mongo, nginx, react, git + mobile app (at a later stage)
Of course, until the app reaches a testable version, it'll be developed locally. But afterwards, I would like to use AWS products to reacth the market.
I started to read about various tools, but got overwhelmed with so many informations about various products.
Now, the question: if you would start a project with the above specs, what AWS products would you use? How would the perfect AWS stack look for you?
Thank you. - RDS for the database system - Elastic BeanStalk for the application server - For git they have their own hosted service but you can always go with github/gitlab/bitbucket - S3/Cloudfront if you need to host assets Using the first two you can run a production ready app in a couple of hours (or minutes once you got some experience) What about deployments, user management and testing? knowing how expensive aws can be at work, I have decided to stay independent for my own project as much as possible by only using the vps, so I can switch infrastructure provider when I want to. I don't care about the costs for now. Free tier would be more than ok for a period. free tier is only for the vps I think.
