Cloud & DevOps
Production-grade AWS infrastructure with ECS Fargate, managed with Terraform and automated CI/CD pipelines.
AWS Infrastructure Architecture
Production ReadyMulti-AZ deployment with ECS Fargate, RDS PostgreSQL, ElastiCache Redis, and comprehensive monitoring. All infrastructure is defined as code using Terraform with automated deployments via GitHub Actions.
Implementation Highlights
Infrastructure as Code
Complete infrastructure defined in Terraform with 9 modular components: VPC, ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, ALB, Route53, ECR, CloudWatch, and Security Groups.
Container Orchestration
Serverless containers on ECS Fargate with auto-scaling (1-4 tasks), deployment circuit breakers, and health checks. Frontend (Next.js) and Backend (FastAPI) services with independent scaling policies.
Database & Caching
RDS PostgreSQL with automated backups, encryption at rest, and enhanced monitoring. ElastiCache Redis for session management and application caching with automatic failover capabilities.
CI/CD Pipeline
Fully automated deployments with GitHub Actions. Terraform workflow for infrastructure, separate workflows for backend and frontend with testing, building, and zero-downtime deployments to ECS.
High Availability
Multi-AZ deployment across us-east-1a and us-east-1b with Application Load Balancer, NAT Gateways in each AZ, and automatic task replacement on failure.
Security & Compliance
Private subnets for all application resources, security groups with least-privilege access, SSL/TLS encryption, image scanning, and secrets management. No hardcoded credentials.
Monitoring & Observability
CloudWatch with Container Insights, custom dashboards, log aggregation with 30-day retention, CPU/memory alarms, and enhanced RDS monitoring at 60-second intervals.
Cost Optimization
Environment-specific sizing (dev: t4g.micro, prod: t4g.small), lifecycle policies for ECR images, minimal task counts with auto-scaling, and efficient resource utilization. Dev environment ~$115/month.
