AWS Technologies

This section provides an overview of the AWS technologies used for the FlySorter project. Each individual section describes how we implemented the technology, the functionality of it and how the technologies communicate with one another.

AWS Lambda

Description: AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app. For more information follow this link.

AWS API Gateway

Description: Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, you can create REST and WebSocket APIs that act as a “front door” for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your backend services, such as workloads running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), code running on AWS Lambda, any web application, or real-time communication applications.

AWS Aurora - MySQL Serverless Edition

Description: Amazon Aurora is a custom built MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible database born and built in the cloud. It has the option of being serverless, which allows you to build and run applications and services without thinking about instances. For more information follow this link.

AWS CloudWatch

Description: Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and management service built for developers, system operators, site reliability engineers (SRE), and IT managers. CloudWatch provides you with data and actionable insights to monitor your applications, understand and respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and get a unified view of operational health. CloudWatch collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and events, providing you with a unified view of AWS resources, applications and services that run on AWS, and on-premises servers.
