Forge and Amazon Web Services: A Perfect Match

In this class, you’ll learn how Autodesk uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to power the Forge platform, and how you can use the same services for your own Forge applications. You’ll get hands-on experience showing you how easy it is to get started with Forge using our quick-start guide. We’ll start with a quick overview of the Forge platform and introduction to AWS. After that, we’ll dive deep into the specific steps and configurations used for both a Node.js application and a .NET application. We’ll discuss the architectures, microservices, development environments, and application deployment options, and help you identify the best practices for running a production Forge application on AWS. This class is best for attendees with some software development experience, and everyone must bring their own laptops. At the end of the class, you’ll have built and deployed a demo application to AWS using Forge.
