Web Application Consideration
-
Web Application Request Workflow
-
When user requests increase, the need for cpu and memory increases. Possible solutions are
- Vertical Scaling: Increasing H/W capacity of the server
- Horizontal Scaling: Increasing Servers
-
Since we are hosting web applications on Elastic BeanStalk, As the requests increase we should be able to scale and set the load balancer.
-
Configure Route53 to point your domain name to Load balancer/Elastic Beanstalk
-
Also SSL/TLS Certificates are to be configured.
Making Web App Ready for Scaling.
- Persistent Data: Always store/retrieve any information from Databases/Other Storages.
- Sessions: When any information is processed based out of client, Ensure Stick Sessions are enabled on Load balancer. Try to store even session information in other storage/db
- Use Cache Servers for Quick informations.
