Cloud Native Java on AWS

project image
We are going to prepare PatternMatchTravels project. It is going to be a simple backend application simulating a travel agency allowing to search & book particular trips. We are going to focus on maintenance, performance and scalability problems. Things covered include deployment strategies to ensure continuous operation, adjusting infrastructure size to incoming traffic automatically, working with and monitoring 3rd party services.
