AWS architecture
Posted by mrrivaz@reddit | ExperiencedDevs | View on Reddit | 10 comments
Evening all. I wanted to reach out here and get some ideas from people more experienced than me.
I am a junior, building my own blog app.
I'm after some advice on what AWS services to use as I am wanting to upskill.
The data flow looks like this
Frontend: (view only layer), gets the data and displays it. Maybe from a topic.
CMS: handles curation of blog articles (full crud).
The way I saw it in my head was, inside the CMS, I will create a blog post and if I don't publish it, the data will go to a draft table.
If I publish it, the data goes to a published table.
Anyways, hopefully I've given you all enough. I was a bit hesitant to ask this for fear of looking dumb, but I thought I would just post and see what comes back.

Get a grip mate.
The post right below mine is "How much cloud experience does a backend developer need".

Rule 1: Do not participate unless experienced
If you have less than 3 years of experience as a developer, do not make a post, nor participate in comments threads except for the weekly “Ask Experienced Devs” auto-thread.

I think you should just do it instead of asking hundreds of thousands of strangers for advice.
I have definitely observed over the past twenty years that increasing availability of social media means people ask for validation way too much instead of just trying things out and learning from them and then trying something else and then maybe asking if you’re stuck or want to improve what you have.

Why not just giving some advice to the kid instead of being an asshole?

the reddit megathread is for this, otherwise precedence is set for the next 37824924 SDE1s to ask how to build apps

I'm not being an asshole at all. I really really do think people should just try trivial things like this themselves, so they learn and fiddle, rather than worrying about what random idiots on Reddit would do.
more and more I see people asking questions like this, seeking guidance for the most basic and unimportant (in the sense that they're just playing around for fun) things, rather than just making decisions themselves and seeing how things go.

Noted.

AWS is pretty expensive, after the first free year. I liked digital ocean when learning

Id do this with a server less setup. The datalake (it's been a while I'm forgetting the names) could hold everything. You can also use a flag and use one table/location
