Guidance for Serverless Reservation System for Lodging on AWS
Overview
How it works
This architecture diagram shows how to build a serverless, microservice-based, and central reservation system.
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
EventBridge allows you to respond to events in real-time, automating responses based on changes in your AWS environment. Amazon CloudWatch monitors AWS resources and applications, providing insights into performance, operational health, and overall status so you can take proactive measures to maintain operational excellence. These services enable the building and operation of reliable, scalable, and efficient systems aligned with business objectives.
Security
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) manages access to AWS resources, defining and enforcing least privilege access and supporting multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security. Amazon Cognito simplifies user authentication and authorization, enabling secure application access while protecting user data. AWS CloudTrail provides visibility into account activity, auditing, monitoring, and compliance with security policies. EventBridge automates responses to security events, such as rotating access keys or disabling compromised resources, fortifying the overall security posture.
Reliability
EventBridge simplifies event management and routing, enabling reliable event-driven architectures. Aurora Serverless automatically scales database capacity based on demand for high availability and fault tolerance. Additionally, Fargate delivers a reliable and scalable infrastructure for containerized applications without managing servers or clusters. Location Service provides reliable and accurate location data, contributing to overall application reliability.
Performance Efficiency
CloudFront efficiently delivers content by caching at edge locations, reducing latency, and improving the user experience. DynamoDB offers fast and scalable NoSQL database performance, delivering single-digit millisecond response times at any scale, making it suitable for applications with intense read/write traffic and high-performance requirements.
Cost Optimization
Amazon S3 provides cost-effective storage and content delivery—you pay only for the storage you use. Lambda provides serverless computing, reducing infrastructure expenses. Further, Lambda enables running code without provisioning or managing servers so that you only pay for consumed compute time.
Sustainability
Lambda and Fargate, serverless compute services, contribute to sustainability efforts by automatically provisioning and scaling resources based on actual workload demands. These services minimize waste, reduce energy consumption, and lower carbon emissions by optimizing resource utilization and eliminating idle resources.
