Ask HN: What AWS products would you use for a new web app?

1 points by adrian_pop 7 years ago · 5 comments · 1 min read


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)

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.
