Experiment Two

Experiment Two is a rebuild of Experiment One using the AWS infrastrucure. It is a multi-tenant web app that supports the various events a school or other type of organization would like to run, such as sales, fundraising such as jogathons, and auctions. Yes, I know, not very original. But it is a problem set that requires many of the basic building blocks of future applications.

Experiment One was a web app that used the Vaadin 7 web app platform and a Mongo no-SQL database. Development went quickly, but the project came to a screeching halt when it was time to go live. I had no interest in deploying and managing a web app or a database (of any kind), and no interest in paying for a managed Mongo service for a Rec-Prog (recreational programming) project.

Experiment Two rebuilt Experiment One using Vaadin 8, the AWS Dynamo DB, AWS S3 for image storage, and deployed on an AWS EC2 instance.

Each organization has a direct link, and the reference implementation school is available at e2.cleangone.xyz/big
