Serverless Blog Post with S3 Bucket and CloudFront

Overview

The Serverless Blog Post project is a simple yet powerful example of leveraging serverless architecture for hosting and managing a blog. Instead of traditional server-based setups, this project utilizes serverless computing, allowing for greater scalability, cost efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Features

• CloudFront Integration: Amazon CloudFront is seamlessly integrated with the S3 bucket hosting the static website, enabling efficient content delivery across the globe.

• Improved Performance: CloudFront caches content at edge locations, reducing latency and improving website load times for users accessing the blog from various geographical locations.

• Serverless Backend: The backend remains serverless, utilizing AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB for managing blog post data and API interactions.

• Seamless Integration: The frontend and backend components seamlessly integrate to create a cohesive blogging platform, delivering a smooth user experience.

• Cost Efficiency: With a serverless architecture and S3 static website hosting, the project maintains a cost-effective infrastructure, scaling resources based on demand.

Technologies Used

• Amazon CloudFront: A content delivery network (CDN) service for distributing static and dynamic web content to edge locations worldwide.

• Amazon S3: For storing static website files, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and media assets.

• AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB: Backend components for managing blog post data and API interactions, deployed in a serverless architecture.

• AWS IAM: For managing access to AWS services securely.

• GitHub: Version control and collaboration on the project's source code.
