rootski is architected…

  • with awesome practices!

  • to scale to thousands of concurrent users

  • to be cheap to run (~$3-6/mo)

  • to be secure (data is backed up and secured, contributors and scripts have minimum-required access, network access and credentials are gated)

  • to be ephemeral: any piece of the architecture can be destroyed at any time and be recovered very quickly using code

Architecture Walkthrough#

This video explains the architecture in a way that is meant to be accessible to people who are new to software architecture and running things in the cloud.

Note

Most of this video is true to the architecture diagram above, but we have replaced the spot instance backend with API Gateway and a lightsail instance.
