Almost all Next.js boilerplates are designed to be deployed to Vercel. But is Vercel really the best choice for your production app? Let me show you why I chose AWS serverless instead.
Scale to zero is one of the most powerful concepts in modern serverless architecture that can dramatically reduce your infrastructure costs while maintaining high performance and availability. But what exactly does "scale to zero" mean, and how can you leverage it to build a successful SaaS application?
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the scale-to-zero concept, its benefits, and how you can build production-ready SaaS applications using serverless architecture that automatically scales from zero to millions of users.
This guide covers the general scale-to-zero concept in serverless computing. Later in the article, we'll also introduce the Scale to Zero AWS Kit - a specific product that implements these concepts as a production-ready SaaS starter kit.
AWS DynamoDB is a preferred database for serverless applications due to its scalability and performance. However, costs can quickly add up if not properly managed. Our Scale to Zero AWS kit heavily uses DynamoDB to store data while keeping costs minimal. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore 7 proven strategies to optimize your DynamoDB costs.
