Vue-storefront: AWS?

Created on 11 Apr 2018 · 11Comments · Source: DivanteLtd/vue-storefront

Brilliant project! Thanks Piotr and others.

At first glance, it seems that AWS Elasticsearch, ElasticCache, DynamoDB, Lambda and CloudFront could be leveraged for those services. Then wrap it all into a CloudFormation template and distribute.

Has anyone tried this? I may give it a shot, out of curiosity.

@pkarw Hi Piotr, yes I will try to work on this in the next few weeks. It will ultimately be a simple CloudFormation template but hoping it doesn't require a fork (though that may be necessary). Thanks!

Hi Wilson, thanks! Yes, Your idea sounds like a way to go, it will be marvelous to have a demo showing the VS on cloud

Could You try to take care of this?

We'll deploy a project in the next weeks on AWS, but our provisioning tool of choice is Terraform.

About the Elasticsearch service, I'm not a big fan, especially by a cost/benefits pov: an high available setup would require at least 3 masters + 2 data nodes (better 4, 2 with relative replicas), moreover the replication should be managed "by hand", that is directly with the ES API, and not AWS.

At this point, if we want to have also ElasticSearch in HA, I would give a look to the Elastic saas service [1], which would cost much less for the same computing power, since you only have to select the data nodes, while the masters and election are managed by them.

I need to do this in the coming months. If i come up with anything interesting I will post it here.

I am also on this at the moment. I I get something running, will update here. One of the problems I bumped into already is that Amazon requires https on Elasticsearch calls and also some headers, which don't seem to be easily added to the VSF-Api-calls to Elasticsearch...
