i would spin up dynamo table and lambda function if you doing prototype. can you provide more requirements? not sure what all you need in backend as service
Sure. It is an MVP for a CRUD app and would have some minor async worker stuff as well. The authentication piece of some of these BaaS is compelling.
Ideally a scalable solution that supports queues and uses a relational DB for easy migration to AWS in the future should the product scale. Ideally trying to avoid getting locked into a limited platform and needing to kludge around it
The use-case you're describing could be a great fit for the tool we're building: stacktape.com.
It offer the simplicity a productivity of a PaaS platform directly in your own AWS account. It supports all of the infrastructure components you've mentioned.
It's a tool made for developers that want to deploy their apps to AWS without having to learn all of the DevOps/Cloud/AWS knowledge.
Unlike other PaaS platforms, Stacktape deploys your apps to your own AWS account and allows you to extend/override anything, giving your the full control and minimum amount of vendor lock-in.
