How do I host a REST API in Amazon?

I’m using Amazon RDS (MySQL) for DB and it is connected to mobile app via REST API we have. I know creating EC2 and hosting it, is there a better and easy way to host this REST API? FYI, REST is developed in Java 8. The output of it is a .war file, so we have to deploy it.

I am asking this because now lot are moving to PaaS systems and they do lot of work we should be doing in server configurations and security.

Elastic Beanstalk, can do all that you want. You can do a single instance if you want or you can put it behind a Load Balancer.

Give this Getting Started Guide a run.

I think Amazon API Gateway is the solution you are looking for . There you can define the rest-interface with GET/POST etc., connect your Mysql RDS instance and connect this to a Lambda stream.

enter image description here

I am working on a similar setup with a DynamoDB-instance.
