Static Content, the Bulletproof Serverless Way
Thursday, 1:30 PM EST - BEACH VIEW/BREEZE
One of the most compelling Serverless architectures doesn’t need to involve AWS Lambda at all. Amazon’s Simple Storage Service, or S3, is a great option for hosting a website or other static content. However, the naive approach to S3 static content hosting doesn’t account for concerns like custom domains, edge caching, transport encryption (SSL), backups, stale file deletion, and disaster recovery.
In this talk, Symphonia’s John Chapin gives an overview and demonstration of a fully-automated, CloudFormation-based static website stack that incorporates a custom domain name using Route53, SSL using Amazon Certificate Manager, cross-region replication, S3 object versioning and deletion, and edge caching using CloudFront. Common patterns for deployment and idiosyncrasies of the approach will also be covered.
