Udemy – React Next.js AWS Node API – Build Scaling MERN Stack App 2020-6 – Download

Technology stack:

• We will use React and NextJS (React Framework) on the client side.
• We will build an API/server using Node Express MongoDB.
• We will use AWS services such as S3 for file storage, SES for sending emails and EC2 for cloud hosting IAM for identity and access management Route 53 for domain management as well as Custom rules/policies.
• We will use Mongo Atlas as our cloud managed database service.

What are we going to build?

• Create a startup project inspired by a successful real-world application (discussed more in conferences) where multiple users can log in and publish/manage the content they submit.
• When building a similar project, we will add some improvements to make it infinitely scalable and easier to maintain.
• Aim for a low operating cost and implement some features to make it much easier, fun and attractive for users to use.

Objective of the project ?

• Target millions of potential users to use and interact with our app
• Users can be anyone… who finds a course, video, or articles online… who likes it and wants to share it
• The links they share will also be available in their dashboard for updating/deleting
• A user can be someone who is a content creator like me…instructors, YouTubers, blog and tutorial writers, book authors, etc.
• Users will register/login to our app to post/share/like links/URLs.
• Users will do this to get free traffic…to get people’s attention…by sharing links for free

Project overview?

• Login/Registration System
• Need a MongoDB that scales infinitely. We will use Mongo Atlas for this requirement.
• Need a massive, infinitely scalable storage system to store image files uploaded by users. We will use AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) for this requirement.
• You never have to worry about how to manage millions of files uploaded by users… let AWS take care of it! S3 pricing is the lowest on the market for storing an infinite amount of data readily available globally in AWS data centers around the world.
• Need a robust email service to send emails to hundreds of thousands of users. We will use AWS SES (Simple Email Service) for this requirement.
• You’ll never have to worry about how to send emails to millions of people and pay a higher price… let AWS take care of it! their SSE rate is the lowest on the market.
• We will use AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) to host our NodeJS backend API and our React/Next JS interface, all in a single instance.
• Keep costs as low as possible by using AWS services for storage, email, and hosting.
• The biggest issues with scaling web applications are scaling storage and databases. This part will be managed by AWS. So as a developer we don’t have to worry.
• Our goal is to allow just 1 or 2 developers to maintain the entire project and continually grow in the future.
