A Beginner's Guide to Scaling to 11 Million+ Users on Amazon's AWS

How do you scale a system from one user to more than 11 million users? Joel Williams, Amazon Web Services Solutions Architect, gives an excellent talk on just that subject: AWS re:Invent 2015 Scaling Up to Your First 10 Million Users.

If you are an advanced AWS user this talk is not for you, but it’s a great way to get started if you are new to AWS, new to the cloud, or if you haven’t kept up with with constant stream of new features Amazon keeps pumping out.

As you might expect since this is a talk by Amazon that Amazon services are always front and center as the solution to any problem. Their platform play is impressive and instructive. It's obvious by how the pieces all fit together Amazon has done a great job of mapping out what users need and then making sure they have a product in that space.

Some of the interesting takeaways:

Read the top-level Documentation and FAQs for all the major AWS resources (EC2, S3, RDS, Auto Scaling, etc). The answers to the "nit-picky" questions can be found here. It's also helpful to go deeper on VPCs and networking-related concepts.
- VPC http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-vpc.html
- VPC Security http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Security.html
