Overview
Let’s admit it: AWS can be intimidating. There are hundreds of services, and understanding what each of them is and how to piece them all together into a cohesive application can seem like a daunting task. That’s why so many people just rely on platforms or frameworks to handle the infrastructure for us.
In this session, Brian Rinaldi will break down the core pieces involved in building a web application using AWS primitives and how to tie them together. Whether your goal is to build directly on AWS or just to better understand the key pieces of application infrastructure that your platform or framework handles for you, you’ll leave with a solid understanding of some of the core components of AWS.
