Architecture toolsby Luca Mezzalira, Federica Ciuffo, Laura Hyatt, Vittorio Denti, and Zamira Jaupaj | on22 FEB 2023| inArchitecture,AWS Well-Architected Framework,AWS Well-Architected Tool,Thought Leadership|Permalink|ShareTools, such as diagramming software, low-code applications, and frameworks, make it possible to experiment quickly. They are essential in today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world. From improving efficiency and accuracy, to enhancing collaboration and creativity, a well-defined set of tools can make a significant impact on the quality and success of a project in the area of software architecture.As an architect, you can take advantage of a wide range of resources to help you build solutions that meet the needs of your organization. For example, with tools in the likes of theAmazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions LibraryandServerless Land, you can boost your knowledge and productivity while working on event-driven architectures, microservices, and stateless computing.In thisLet’s Architect!edition, we explore how to incorporate these patterns into your architecture, and which tools to leverage to build solutions that are scalable, secure, and cost-effective.How AWS Application Composer helps your team build great appsIn this re:Invent 2022 session, Chase Douglas, Principal Engineer at AWS, speaks aboutAWS Application Composer, a newly launched service.This service has the potential to change the way architects design solutions—without writing a single line of code! The service is user-friendly, intuitive, and requires no prior coding experience. It allows users to scaffold a serverless architecture, defining a CloudFormation template visually with drag-and-drop. A detailedAWS Compute Blog posttakes readers through the process of using AWS Application Composer.Take me to this re:Invent 2022 video!How an architecture can be designed with AWS Application ComposerAWS design + build toolsWhen migrating to the cloud, we suggest referencing these four tried-and-true AWS resources that can be used to design and build projects.AWS Workshopsare created by AWS teams to provide opportunities for hands-on learning to develop practical skills. Workshops are available in multiple categories and for skill levels 100-400.AWS Architecture Centercontains a collection of best practices and architectural patterns for designing and deploying cloud-based solutions using AWS services. Furthermore, it includes detailed architecture diagrams, whitepapers, case studies, and other resources that provide a wealth of information on how to design and implement cloud solutions.Serverless Land(an Amazon property) brings together various patterns, workflows, code snippets, and blog posts pertaining to AWS serverless architectures.AWS Solutions Libraryprovides customers with templates, tools, and automated workflows to easily deploy, operate, and manage common use cases on the AWS Cloud.Inside event-driven architectures designed by David Boyne on Serverless LandThe Well-Architected wayIn this session, the AWS Well-Architected provides guidance on how to implement the architectural models reported in theAWS Well-Architected Frameworkwithin your organization at scale.Discover a customer story and understand how to use the features of theAWS Well-Architected Tooland APIs to receive recommendations based on your workload and measure your architectural metrics. In the Framework whitepaper, you can explore the six pillars of Well-Architected (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability) and best practices to achieve them.Understanding the key design pillars can help architects make informed design decisions, leading to more robust and efficient solutions. This knowledge also enables architects to identify potential problems early on in the design process and find appropriate patterns to address those issues.Take me to the Well-Architected video!Discover how the AWS Well-Architected Framework can help you design scalable, maintainable, and reusable solutionsSee you next time!Thanks for exploring architecture tools and resources with us!Join us next time when we’ll talk about data mesh architecture!To find all the posts from this series, check out theLet’s Architect!page of theAWS Architecture Blog.TAGS:application composer,Architecture,Architecture Center,Let's Architect,library,re:Invent,serverless,Serverless Land,workshopsLuca MezzaliraLuca is Principal Solutions Architect based in London.
