Looking to spin up a small in functionality app in AWS with • Lucee • PostgreSQL • Redis • S3 • SES • SQS • Cognito • API Gateway • Couple of EC2 instances Does anyone see any problems doing this? Anything to watch out for? This has the potential for scaling quickly, so it'll need a load balancer and multiple instances. Any tips would be appreciated. Lucee would need to handle some of the data I/O and we can build Lambdas for a lot of the rest.

I think the part you’ll want to think about before you get into implementation is how you plan to scale quickly. There are tons of different ways (maybe too many) to do this in AWS, all with different tradeoffs. How quickly do you need to scale?, does it need to be automated scaling?, or will you take manual steps to add capacity?

Well, we can get CommandBox and Docker involved to handle some of the scaling problems as I understand. I intend to trickle in users when we launch so we can address any initial issues.

You are better off using AWS autoscaling then command box trying to get it to handle auto scaling. Nothing against command box, just why reinvent the wheel when its built into the aws platform.
