JAWS: The Server-less Stack

Goals:

• Use No Servers: Never deal with scaling/deploying/maintaining/monitoring servers again.
• Isolated Components: The JAWS back-end is comprised entirely of AWS Lambda Functions. You can develop/update/configure each separately without affecting any other part of your application. Your app never goes down... only individual API routes can go down.
• Scale Infinitely: A back-end comprised of Lambda functions comes with a ton of concurrency and you can easily enable multi-region redundancy.
• Be Cheap As Possible: Lambda functions run only when they are called, and you only pay for when they are run.
• Enable all supported Lambda runtimes While first release is nodejs only, we plan on adding supoport for all languages. This means each lambda in your JAWS project can be coded in the lang that best suites the problem.
• Integrate with AWS API Gateway No more clicking around the API Gateway UI. Keep your config next to your code.
