Creating a cloud native serverless web app – An AWS project reference

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Cloud-native serverless web app for a German EV charging grant is implemented with React TypeScript + AWS Amplify, Amazon Cognito for auth, API Gateway + Lambda for backend, and Aurora Serverless MySQL for storage; deployment uses Terraform with Terragrunt and AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild. Lambda functions run Node.js, tuning raises memory from 128 MB to 1024 MB to cut latency using Lambda Power Tuning, and Aurora accounts for about half the infrastructure cost leading to a DynamoDB alternative to remove Lambdas and a bastion.
