In this complex lab, you'll build a high-availability e-commerce platform using a mixture of AWS compute services and automation tools. You will simulate a modern e-commerce backend capable of handling scalable transactions, integrating multiple AWS services such as AWS CodePipeline for CI/CD, Amazon ECS Fargate for compute, and Amazon RDS for database management. Following best practices for enterprise architectures, this lab involves setting up a multi-region deployment strategy ensuring fault tolerance and high availability. Throughout the lab, you’ll make strategic architectural decisions reflecting real-world requirements for disaster recovery and automation. You'll start by defining your stack using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) through AWS CloudFormation, which will allow you to create reusable components and manage changes efficiently. You will also configure a CI/CD pipeline that automatically deploys updates to your application, ensuring faster delivery and continuous feedback integration. Finally, you will implement monitoring and logging to maintain system health and identify potential bottlenecks, achieving a comprehensive view of your architecture's performance and resilience.
TechStartupCorp is expanding its e-commerce operations to serve a global customer base, requiring a robust and scalable infrastructure. The company aims to reduce deployment times, maintain service availability during updates, and ensure compliance with data protection standards across regions. Your role as a senior AWS architect is to design and implement a scalable solution using serverless technology and automation pipelines that meets these demands.
