Iterative App Modernization with Lambda and ECS

If you are running a tightly coupled application and facing multiple issues. If you feel you need to find reliable solutions, then you need to modernise your application. It helps you offload the burden, increases time-efficiency, reduces risk factors and most importantly is budget-friendly. You can begin your modernization journey by AWS. It provides a host of services that are highly useful in the long run. In this workshop, we will be discussing AWS and modernization in detail.

Prerequisites

  • AWS Account (Mandatory): For deploying the resources and application
  • AWS-CDK : For creating the AWS Resources and deploying it into the AWS environment. Use the cdk –version command to check if you have aws-cdk already installed on your machine. If you can’t find it on your machine, then use npm install -g aws-cdk command to install aws-cdk on your machine.
  • Python (Optional): If you're planning on trying the code yourself, you should have your Python installed locally. It is recommended to check if you have Java already installed. Use the python3 -version from the command line to check if you have it on your machine (see the output below to check if you have Python installed on your machine. If you can't find it on your machine, then download Python 3.8 or above).
  • Code Editor or IDE of your choosing (Optional, two popular ones are listed below): If you're planning on browsing the code locally, we recommend you to use a Code Editor or IDE
  • Visual Studio Code : https://code.visualstudio.com/
  • PyCharm : https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
