Cloud highload web application based on Symfony and Angular

Good day, I develop a hightload application based on Symfony and Angular (v2).

There two different and absolutely independent apps :

  1. api (server side) created on Symfony
  2. user interface(client side) created on Angular (v2)

They communicate by Oauth v2. So there two diffent and independent applications.

My goal is to deploy both on AWS. For Symfony I use Elastic Beanstalk + RDS. I use FREE User account for a moment.

My question : should I create another application on Elastic Beanstalk for Angular. That means I'll pay for another EC2. Or could I install both Angular(clien) and Symfony(server) in the same Elastic Beanstalk application?

Please give me some advices to save money ant time.

It will be cheaper and far more scalable for you to deploy your SPA ( Angular front end ) directly on CloudWatch while you keep your API on Elastic beanstalk.

EB is intended for handling your own servers but static content should be deployed on a proper Content Distribution Network (CDN). This way, as your user base grows, you won’t have to worry about managing ( and paying for ) more servers. The CDN will be able to handle your work load no matter how high it gets.

For the API, there is no way around having EC2 machines. Well, that’s not true either as you could move to AWS API Gateway + Lambda, but for your Synphony setup, you need Servers, and EB will help you grow as needed ( but you still want to avoid EC2 machines if you can have somebody else manage them for you ).
