In this tutorial, you’ll build your first modern application on AWS. Modern applications isolate business logic, optimize reuse and iteration, and remove overhead everywhere possible. Modern apps are built using services that enable you to focus on writing code while automating infrastructure maintenance tasks.
You will build a sample website called Mythical Mysfits that enables visitors to adopt a fantasy creature (mysfit) as pet. You can see a working sample of this website at: www.mythicalmysfits.com
This version of the tutorial matches the Python language version of the tutorial. If you would like to try the tutorial in another language, please visit the main branch and select your preferred programming language from there (scroll to the bottom of the page).
This tutorial will walk you through the steps to create a well-architected sample web application discussed above. You will learn to host this web application on a front-end web server and connect it to a backend database. You’ll also learn to set up user authentication and will be able to collect and analyze user behavior.
The site provides basic functionality such as ability to “like” your favorite mysfit and reserve your chosen mysfit for adoption. It also allows you to gather insights about user behavior for future analysis.
