在 AWS Lambda 上运行 UI 应用程序

Question

Is there a way to run a dynamic UI based application on AWS Lambda? If not , why doesn't AWS Lambda fit this use case? Since HTTP traffic is stateless and since session can be maintained in a backing datastore , what restricts lambda from hosting a dynamic web application?

Answer 1

No you cannot run. It is to build/run the APIs of your backend as microservices(serverless architecture). You can either use S3 bucket or Elastic bean stalk to host your UI application.

Answer 2

No you don't host your web interface lambda. You can utilize S3 static website hosting for hosting your HTML and JS code. Lambda can be utilized to provide a backend for any APIs that you need to utilise in your JS code.

Answer 3

Even though lambda is not designed to host UI application, it doesn't mean that its impossible to do so. I had success running nodejs express server in lambda where the express endpoints returned html/css.

when it comes to server side sessions, the session could be saved on the database since lambda is stateless.
