Deploy your cloud infrastructure in 1 day with Yalantis DevOps serverless accelerator

DevOps serverless accelerator is one of Yalantis proprietary solutions for fast cloud architecture deployment and facilitated efficiency of software development. It contains a set of scripts that gives the DevOps control over the cloud services, allowing to scale the environment up and down based on the demand.
The serverless approach works best for scenarios where rapid scaling and cost-efficiency are critical considerations. It allows addressing the infrastructure needs that arise during the development of prototypes, MVPs, or microservice architecture environments.

The accelerator is an industry agnostic solution that combines several AWS services, notably AWS Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, and DynamoDB, further enhanced by the strong typing and error handling capabilities of TypeScript. This combo gives the accelerator a few advantages:

• ease of integration with traditional cloud architectures
• ability to handle varying workloads efficiently without manual intervention
• resilience to failures
• robust security features and compliance certifications guaranteed by AWS
• cost optimization, since you’re only paying for the resources you use.

Yalantis DevOps serverless accelerator features the full functionality needed to seamlessly integrate, deploy, and configure your cloud environment. By using it to reduce time needed for architecture setup, companies can also address some challenges related to the software development, such as:

• Ensuring low latency and high availability of cloud applications to end users
• Decreasing time to market for applications and prototypes
• Minimizing time and resources spent on infrastructure management tasks
• Getting auto-scalable cloud solutions without manual intervention

Operational efficiency

• Ready-to-use infrastructure template that simplifies and accelerates the deployment process by abstracting away low-level infrastructure configurations.
• Configured CI/CD pipeline (GitLab CI/CD) to streamline the deployment workflow on your project, ensuring consistency and reliability across different environments.
• Optional Route53 records for production environment to provide DNS routing capabilities for improved reliability and accessibility. It also assists in directing traffic efficiently to the production environment while keeping non-production environments isolated.
• Access logs from API Gateway and CloudFront to facilitate monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimization of API performance and security.
• CloudWatch alerts (5XX Errors, long API latency) to enable proactive monitoring and timely intervention to maintain service reliability and performance.
• Built-in Sentry integration for exception tracking to get visibility into runtime errors and exceptions, facilitating rapid debugging and resolution of issues.
• Benchmark load testing on Locust to examine the solution’s performance under various scenarios. This validates scalability efforts and ensures that the solution can handle expected workloads efficiently.
• Optimized traffic routing to Lambda for testing and selecting the best-performing method to route traffic to Lambda functions, ensuring optimal resource utilization and responsiveness.

Security

• Fine-tuned Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies for CI/CD users. to secure permission control and least privilege principles, which means that individuals are only granted the permissions or privileges essential for their specific role or function. This mitigates the risk of unauthorized access to resources and improves the security of internal processes.
• High-workload handling for internet-facing services to handle high workloads without failure, ensuring resilience and availability under heavy traffic conditions.

Cost reduction

• Retention time for AWS Lambda logs for as long as needed, based on compliance and operational needs, which helps to optimize storage costs.
• Using HTTP API gateway over legacy REST API to reduce API Gateway costs by up to three times while maintaining functionality and performance.
