Light Sail VS EC2 selection for web application server

0

Hello Guys, We are working on architecture for web application. We currently have three servers in our design - web server ( front end), application server ( backend) and database - all hosted on Amazon EC2. However, we thought of leveraging Amazon light Sail instead of EC2. Our proposed web application will angular based and going to have dynamic reports with option to steam live video with approximately 10k users accessing the video streaming. Please advise if Amazon light Sail will be suitable for this kind of operations or need to go with EC2?

The following official AWS website provides a comparison of EC2 and Lightsail. [1]

Since your application seems to do video streaming, it seems to me that you would need a reasonable specification.

Also, you may need to consider scalability, etc., so EC2 is probably a better choice.
However, we do not know the specific performance requirements of your application, so please consider verifying this if necessary.

I understand that you are trying to configure the most efficient architecture for your dynamic web application. I have suggested a solution based on the information you have provided; however, please research the benefits and use-cases for EC2 and Lightsail outside of this response. EC2 best fits the requirements listed above for the following reasons:

  • Video streaming may require more computationally intensive loads than what Lightsail has to offer
  • EC2 has many options for compute optimization that are not possible in Lightsail
  • EC2 offers pay-as-you-go pricing which provides a balance between performance and cost optimization

Here are a few resources to help determine which service is best for your use-case:
