AWS Solution Architect
Design AWS architectures for startups using serverless patterns and IaC templates.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Building for high concurrency on AWS with serverless is definitely possible. You'd likely use Lambda for compute and probably want a database like DynamoDB. API Gateway could handle the HTTP routing. You might need to think about caching and maybe a CDN for static content. Cost optimization is important for serverless, so you'll want to monitor how much you're spending. Consider using Infrastructure as Code with CloudFormation. There are a few different ways to structure this, so it depends on your specific requirements.
SERVERLESS ARCHITECTURE COMPONENT STACK → API Gateway (regional) - 10k concurrent = 10k concurrent connections - Burst throttle: 40k requests/sec (built-in) - Caching: 1hr TTL on read endpoints - WAF: rate limiting at 100 req/sec per IP → Lambda compute layer - Reserved concurrency: 6000 (covers 10k concurrent + spikes) - Memory allocation: 1024 MB (balance cost/speed) - Timeout: 30 sec (API calls only, no long jobs) - Ephemeral storage: 512 MB for temp files → DynamoDB tables (on-demand billing) - Primary: Users table (userId partition key) - Secondary: Sessions table (sessionId, TTL=24hr) - Auto-scaling: covers 10k concurrent reads naturally - Point-in-time recovery: enabled → Elasticache Redis cluster (6 nodes) - Session cache + user preferences - Failover: automatic → S3 + CloudFront - Static assets (SPA, images) - Cache policy: 1 year for versioned assets → CloudWatch Logs + X-Ray - Structured logging (JSON) - Distributed tracing on all Lambda calls CLOUDFORMATION SKELETON Included: parameter definitions, Lambda IAM roles (least privilege), VPC optional (Lambda-only simpler) COST ESTIMATE 10k concurrent, 60% peak utilization = $2800/month compute + $400/month data RISK MITIGATION Cold start: use provisioned concurrency on auth Lambdas only (most latency-sensitive) DynamoDB hot partitions: use sort key distribution if user activity skewed Billed duration: Lambda only charges for 100ms increments
