AWS can build your stack (DNS, servers, DB, LB, etc) for you using "Cloud Formation":

http://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-temp...

Look at "Application Framework Examples" and the templates for "A simple Ruby on Rails "Hello World" application" to start. You can build your whole stack with a single click.

Later on, if you decide you want to be devops instead of dev, you can learn about how these templates were written. Go here to roll your own:

In the meantime, keep learning Rails and node, and let AWS Cloud Formation set the servers up for you. That's sort of the point of the cloud.
