How we did it
Engineering Approach from the start:
• Strong Tech Team: 2 FE, 2BE + Contract Tester
• Process from day 1• Attention to detail• We used AWS, a lot!• No Ops (almost)
We worked really!!!!! hard

Why AWS?
Cloud Formation - Didn’t need a network engineer
RDS MySQL - No need to install DB, easy to maintain
Elastic Beanstalk - Scalable, fault tolerant environment
S3 - Simple store for images and assets
CloudFront - Serves them all through a CDN
CloudWatch - Monitoring

Our Launch Stack, Dec 2014
• Simple 3 Tier Architecture
• Use as much AWS as
possible
• Require as little Ops as
possible
• It works, and it scales!

What did our engineers do next?
Micro(ish) Services – AWS Elastic Container Service
Ad-hoc functionality– AWS Lambda
NASQL (Not Always SQL)
A CDN to front it all - CloudFront
More control of our API – API Gateway

Conclusion
Keep tech simple at the early stages
You’re likely NOT in the business of setting up
servers and environments
Focus on delivering customer value and growing
your business instead
