The new #1 reason to go serverless: security. Protect your web services from cyberattacks by transitioning to fully serverless. No virtual machines to manage, no security updates and patches to install, no security settings to (mis)configure, no sensitive customer passwords to guard. Switch to serverless in days rather than months or years with SoftActivate Web Services Framework for AWS. Build or transition your backend services to a fully serverless, infrastructure-as-code, full CI/CD, microservices-based architecture built on top of AWS services. Save 1+ years of development and reduce monthly costs, increase scalability and security, decrease maintenance.

SoftActivate Web Services Framework features:

• Protect your web services from cyberattacks by transitioning to fully serverless. No virtual machines to manage, no security updates and patches to install, no security settings to (mis)configure, no sensitive customer passwords to guard;

• Fully serverless using AWS Lambda: increased scalability and security, pay only for what you use, no servers to manage, no OS security patching required;

• Infrastructure as code: All your infrastructure is managed via CloudFormation with minimal to no manual intervention. To update your backend infrastructure, just update a CloudFormation infrastructure definition template and commit it to your repo just as any other source code. There is not a single setting that you need to manually alter. All configuration files are automatically (re)generated from the updated infrastructure properties;

• Full CI/CD pipeline: commit your code and it automatically builds on AWS using CodePipeline and CodeBuild, and deploys after your manual approval; Eliminate the need of in-house build servers and build management.

• Multiple development environments: production, beta, stage, dev, etc. You can install them in the same AWS account or in different AWS accounts/regions for better cost management and development team isolation;

• Automatic creation and maintenance of required DNS domains or subdomains for accessing the backend services;

• Automatic SSL certificate acquiring and renewal;

• Comprehensive monitoring via AWS CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail, execution tracing via AWS X-Ray;

• REST API microservices backend architecture: a novel hybrid approach, asynchronous inter-microservice invocation without a complicated communication bus, effectively reducing complexity that prevents migration to microservices;

• Customizable SPA front-end web application with authentication, demonstrating invoking microservices via REST API, with built-in data-driven components to facilitate development;

• Highly scalable: everything is designed to avoid architecture bottlenecks and take advantage of the well-known AWS scalability;

• Abstractized document-based data layer with NoSQL support using AWS DynamoDB with smart partitioning. RDS/SQL support coming soon;

• Extensive DynamoDB knowledge used to maximize scalability and minimize costs. (DynamoDB consulting available on demand);

• Built-in authentication using AWS Cognito, with multi-tenancy and role support added on top: have multiple other companies/tenants use your services, each with multiple accounts and roles;

• Separation of personal identifiable information (PII) from operational data in order to facilitate EU GDPR compliance;

• Multiple infrastructure and architecture-related optimizations designed for operating cost reduction;

• All backend services are designed with well-architected layers so you can easily switch between components and technologies (example: switch from NoSQL and SQL data models).

• Underlying AWS costs starting at $0/month: no fixed monthly costs required by any of the services. Pay only for what you use;

Technologies:

• Infrastructure: AWS CloudFormation, AWS Lambda, AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, AWS Cloudfront, AWS Cognito, AWS Cloudwatch, AWS CloudTrail, AWS X-Ray, AWS S3;
• Backend development: NodeJS/Javascript running on AWS Lambda;
• Frontend: SPA web application using Lit.dev, Bootstrap 5.x, deployed via AWS Cloudfront;
• The main development language used for both back-end and front-end is Javascript
