AWS re: Invent STG 303: Building Scalable Applications on Amazon Simple Storage Service

Published on Dec 03, 2012

Want to build an application that requires minimal up-front investment, and will seamlessly scale from hundreds to millions of users? Amazon S3 is a powerful building block that can enable you to focus your time on the value and functionality of your application, rather than the challenges of scaling it. In this session we'll cover techniques to best take advantage of the platform. We'll discuss structuring your key naming convention to maximize consistency of performance, as well as ways to optimize your upload and download throughput. We'll learn how to eliminate proxies between your application and Amazon S3, and use the platform for your logging needs. Finally, we'll cover simple techniques for efficiently managing the billions of objects your highly scaled application may accumulate.
