Build Modern Apps with Zero Server Management
In this blog, we’ll break down a real-world serverless architecture using key AWS services like Amazon S3, CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, all illustrated in the diagram above.
Architecture Overview
The architecture follows a clean, serverless pattern where every component is managed by AWS, so you never worry about provisioning, patching, or scaling servers.
Users (Browser)
The journey begins with your users accessing the application via their browsers or mobile devices.
Amazon CloudFront
CloudFront is AWS’s Content Delivery Network (CDN). It accelerates content delivery by caching static assets at edge locations worldwide and reducing latency and improving user experience.
Amazon S3 (Static Website Hosting)
Your frontend, usually a React, Angular, or Vue app is hosted in an S3 bucket configured for static website hosting. It serves HTML, CSS, JS, images, and other static assets.
API Gateway
When users perform actions like submitting a form or fetching data, those frontend calls are sent to Amazon API Gateway, which acts as a secure entry point for backend logic.
AWS Lambda
Lambda functions are triggered by API Gateway requests. Each function contains your application’s backend logic. For Example, reading/writing data, validating inputs, or triggering workflows.
Amazon DynamoDB
Lambda functions interact with DynamoDB, AWS’s serverless NoSQL database. It stores dynamic application data such as user profiles, orders, or comments and scales seamlessly.
Amazon S3 (Uploads)
If your application supports file uploads (e.g., profile pictures, documents), Lambda stores them securely in another S3 bucket, isolated from the main static site.
Use Cases
Static + dynamic web apps (e.g., dashboards, marketing sites)
Lightweight SaaS platforms
Real-time APIs and event-driven systems
MVPs or proof-of-concept applications
Final Summary
Serverless is more than just a trend and it’s a new way to build. With the architecture shown above, you get speed, simplicity, security, and scale all without managing a single server.
This pattern is trusted by startups and enterprises alike to deliver high-performance web applications on AWS.
