Hi all,

I work in the Centre of excellence for a consulting company. Our CTO wants to prototype an indexing/search application to share docs and he wants to use AWS for the cloud service. I’m looking for some guidance around the basic cloud architecture principles. Can anyone explain high level how the architecture should look like? Thanks in advance

That’s a pretty complicated answer. To provide any kind of architecture, you need to be able to give very detailed info about exactly what you need to build

Cloudsearch is not an elasticsearch alternative, and is rarely recommended. No one in their right mind would also recommend Apache solr if they want to use AWS. You may be thinking of OpenSearch. OP, this is why you shouldn’t listen to random advice without additional context.

Again, the solution could be OpenSearch, it could be dynamodb, too. Too many unknowns to give a recommendation.

Ignore anyone giving solutions at this point. You need to think about whats happening at each step: ingestion, processing, retrieval, access patterns, compliance, budget, performance, reliability, etc. As a start.

Do you have more details on what will the application do- will it store and share documents? And, then , the user will have opportunities to search documents? I am not a AWS architect. Just taking a guess. AWS EFS is the document storage solution. If you need windows based application to share documents then its FSX for Windows.

Also depends on the frequency of retrieval, how they’re being retrieved, document size, what exactly is being searched and what exactly needs to be returned. To your point, streaming data, unstructured, etc, are all options, and all have separate considerations. Documents are as simple as just a JSON document. Do documents need to have OCR to extract data before searching? Etc etc.
