How to Scale your AWS Infrastructure - Part 2
Blog post from Qovery
Amazon's Relational Database Service (RDS) offers a scalable solution for managing databases by supporting major relational database management systems and providing features such as Multi-AZ deployments and Read Replicas for high availability and load distribution. Amazon Aurora further enhances performance and cost-effectiveness, especially for those migrating from commercial databases. To achieve loose coupling and scalability in systems, AWS services like Simple Queue Service (SQS) and Lambda are recommended, as they enable decoupling and serverless architecture, respectively. Elasticache is suggested for reducing latency and database load through caching, while Amazon CloudFront serves as a content delivery network to enhance global content distribution efficiency. Scalability is essential for enterprise software development, and AWS offers numerous services like Elastic Load Balancer, ECS, and CI/CD tools to support this, although solutions like Qovery provide a simplified approach to managing infrastructure and scalability without requiring deep DevOps knowledge.
