what software do i need to put on my ec2 to make it process shopping orders?

[erjan]

let’s say i m building a ecommerce store. i have 3 servers and load balancer.

how does each server process the shopping orders, state of carts?

i suspect i need to put some additional software on them? they don’t magically process anything just because i launched them.

in general, i know ec2 does whatever i want. but do i need to install some additional software?

Hello Erjan,

A common design pattern for handling orders in load-balanced EC2 instances is to use a decoupling layer between the client and your servers. A popular choice is Amazon SQS. You get the order data from the SQS queue and process them in the instances. The advantage of this is that in the event of an instance failure, orders will still persist in the queue and will not be lost.
