Guidance for Hotel Check-In Experience on AWS
Overview
How it works
Provide a frictionless check-in experience for guests whether they use mobile, web, or kiosk. Create personalized interactions by checking in guests anywhere in the lobby while upselling upgrades and amenities during the process.
Well-Architected Pillars
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.
Operational Excellence
The reference architecture can be scripted using Amazon CloudFormation , added to your own development pipeline, and deployed in your cloud environment. Use Amazon CloudWatch to increase your observability with application and service-level metrics, personalized dashboards, and logs.
Security
With Amazon Cognito user pools, you can use identity pools to provide built-in user management and secure access to APIs. The Lambda back end only has access to the services they need with least privileged roles. The guest data in DynamoDB and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is encrypted at rest.
Reliability
EventBridge and Amazon AppFlow are fully managed services that provide consistent throughput at scale. All the serverless components are highly available and automatically scale based on usage. We recommend DynamoDB cross-region deployment for higher availability.
Performance Efficiency
Serverless architectures help you provision the exact resources that the workload needs. Monitor for expected performance by using CloudWatch alarms and Lambda metrics. For unexpected traffic, configure DynamoDB on-demand; use provisioned mode for consistent traffic.
Cost Optimization
Serverless architectures provide a pay-per-value pricing model and scale based on demand. A good practice is to use AWS Budgets to create budgets for cost and usage governance. Create and use Cloud Intelligence Dashboards for comprehensive cost management and financial optimization.
Sustainability
By choosing serverless services, you are using only the resources that you need and therefore reducing impacts.
