This Guidance demonstrates how you can implement a personalization engine to derive and deliver the right guest experience when your guest most needs it. By aggregating data from various guest touchpoints, you can determine preferences and make tailored recommendations for room type, amenities, dining, and activities to delight each guest. Personalization can enhance your guest's satisfaction and loyalty, while incentivizing high-value ancillary purchases, strengthening your brand image.

Well-Architected Pillars

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you understand the pros and cons of the decisions you make when building systems in the cloud. The six pillars of the Framework allow you to learn architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable systems. Using the AWS Well-Architected Tool, available at no charge in the AWS Management Console, you can review your workloads against these best practices by answering a set of questions for each pillar.

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

  • This Guidance uses API Gateway integrated with Amazon CloudWatch to provide monitoring capabilities so that you can track API calls and latency. This Guidance integrates with AWS CloudTrail for API request logging. These features improve observability of API operations and their usage. You can also set up CloudWatch alarms to notify you of errors or threshold breaches in near real-time.

    Read the Operational Excellence whitepaper 

  • This Guidance lets you use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to strengthen data security and access control through granular permissions. By using IAM to grant least-privilege permissions, you can make sure that users have access only to the specific resources they need.

    Read the Security whitepaper 

  • This Guidance uses Amazon Pinpoint, which provides built-in scalability and redundancy so that you can reliably deliver SMS, email, and push notification messages to users. Amazon Pinpoint is a fully managed service that delivers reliable communication with users even during peak times.

    Read the Reliability whitepaper 

  • This Guidance uses DynamoDB, which provides fast, consistent, single-digit millisecond latency. It is also a fully managed NoSQL database that provides automatic scaling (through its on-demand mode) and replication across Availability Zones, facilitating high-performance efficiency and low latency. This makes it ideal for a high volume of users trying to access the website and application.

    Read the Performance Efficiency whitepaper 

  • This Guidance uses Amazon Personalize, which charges based on the number of requests to your endpoints, so you only pay for recommendations that are generated. It also automatically scales resources so you don’t over-provision capacity. Additionally, as a fully managed service, Amazon Personalize removes the need for you to manage machine learning infrastructure. It handles capacity planning, model training, and hosting, so you don’t have to provision resources up front.

    Read the Cost Optimization whitepaper 

  • This Guidance uses Lambda, which lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. Its automatic scalability and its reuse of implementation environments optimizes resource usage. This minimizes energy usage because Lambda runs only the necessary compute for your workloads. Additionally, you save more energy if you use Lambda functions powered by AWS Graviton.

Implementation Resources

A detailed guide is provided to experiment and use within your AWS account. Each stage of building the Guidance, including deployment, usage, and cleanup, is examined to prepare it for deployment.

The sample code is a starting point. It is industry validated, prescriptive but not definitive, and a peek under the hood to help you begin.
