How to build a full stuck app with AWS?

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is one of the largest cloud computing service company in the world, which offers free plan that is sufficient for deploying some web apps. Here is my experience about how to build a serverless app with AWS.

1. Register for AWS Free Trier

Register to get your AWS account here.

2. Start with Toturials

AWS offers a variety of toturials that help beginners start with AWS.

3. Learn from Sample Codes

Prerequisite: Nodejs and npm

Personally, I found this tutorial really helpful, which gave me a quick overview of Amplify, S3 and Sandbox. With this tutorial, you will successfully deploy a full stuck serverless React app with no cost!

4. Stay aware of Your Cost and Usage

Although AWS provides a free trier, the quota is a bit limited. Remember to check your cost and usage to avoid unintended cost. But don’t worry, AWS will send you emails if your usage is high.
