As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect, you can deploy monolithic, microservices, and other complex architectures in AWS using a variety of services designed to simplify and scale these deployments:
- Monolithic Architectures: Use AWS EC2 or Elastic Beanstalk to deploy the entire application as a single unit, taking advantage of managed load balancing (ELB) and auto-scaling to handle traffic fluctuations.
- Microservices Architectures: AWS services like AWS ECS or EKS for container orchestration, along with AWS Lambda for serverless functions, enable you to deploy microservices independently. These can be further managed using API Gateway to handle inter-service communication and AWS Cloud Map for service discovery.
- Complex/Event-Driven Architectures: AWS Lambda and EventBridge or SNS can power event-driven applications, while AWS Step Functions provide orchestration for complex workflows. Serverless options like DynamoDB for NoSQL storage and S3 for static content simplify scaling without infrastructure management.
