Then they tried to scale it to cope with high traffic and discovered that some of the state transitions in their step functions were too frequent, and they had some overly chatty calls between AWS lambda functions and S3. When you are exploring how to construct something, building a prototype in a few days or weeks is a good approach.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? Amazon Aurora is a proprietary, cloud-native, fully managed relational database service developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

While paid marketing strategies like Google Ads play a part in our approach as well, enhancing our organic traffic remains a major priority. The higher our organic traffic, the more profitable we become as a company.

To reduce latency, assets should be generated in an offline fashion and not in real time. We can leverage high performance VMs in AWS to generate the assets.
