Frontend for a server-less stack — Brian Douglas

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

A small app called Hustling app scrapes ESPN HTML tables to tell when BART gets jammed by home baseball games and originally runs as a Rails API on Heroku with Postgres. It gets rewritten to a JAMstack front end on Netlify and server-less back end using Lambda + DynamoDB + API Gateway plus CloudWatch cron jobs and serverless framework. Monthly cost drops from $7 to cents (AWS bill ~ $0.11–$0.15); the system works.
