Blog2015 ≫ Saving for later: JAWS

JAWS1 The Javascript + AWS Stack A monstrously scalable, server-free, web application boilerplate using bleeding-edge AWS services...

The Goals Of JAWS Are:

Use No Servers: Never deal with scaling/deploying/maintaing/monitoring servers again. Isolated Components: The JAWS back-end is comprised entirely of AWS Lambda Functions. You can develop/update/configure each separately without affecting any other part of your application. Your app never goes down... only individual API routes can go down. Scale Infinitely: A back-end comprised of Lambda functions comes with a ton of concurrency and you can easily enable multi-region redundancy. Be Cheap As Possible: Lambda functions run only when they are called, and you only pay for when they are run.

I don't like the sound of the potential 5 minute start up time for AWS Lambda, I must have missed something there...

js: Programming language of the web, mostly how I make my living.
