Donut and Glaze: A Hyrax Dam and Decoupled Frontend in AWS

Northwestern University has worked over the last two years to move it's core infrastructure to AWS. At the same time we worked to develop a Hyrax-based DAM and decoupled front end. The end result is a scalable solution that allows the team to use modern front-end frameworks (react), s3 (static) hosting, serverless (lambda-based) tasks, and flexibility in backend decisions.
