Episode synopsis

This is a joint meetup with LAMPSIGLAPHP & LAWebSpeed.

TOPIC:
Building powerful web applications in the AWS cloud

Building the right infrastructure that can scale up or down in a moment's notice can be a complicated and expensive task, but it's essential in today's business landscape.  This applies to an enterprise trying to cut-costs, a young business unexpectantly saturated with customer demand, or a start-up looking to launch.

In this talk, Jinesh Varia will discuss how to build a Simple LAMP-based web application in the AWS cloud and then apply all the attributes and latest features of the cloud to turn it into an Auto-scalable, highly available, highly scalable, fully-monitored edge-cached application that is not only easier to develop but also easier to maintain. The session will be ideal for those who have some familiarly of AWS and its offerings and are looking to build LAMP based application. The lessons and best practices that you learn from this session can be applied to any cloud application, whether it is a Facebook social gaming application or cloud service accessed from a mobile application, software as a service application.
