High-Availability Web Application on AWS

Overview

This project involves the design and implementation of a high-availability multi-tier web application on AWS. The application utilizes a variety of AWS services to ensure scalability, reliability, and fault tolerance.

Features

• Multi-Tier Architecture: Designed with separate layers for frontend, backend, and database.
• High Availability: Deployed using multiple Availability Zones with load balancing.
• Automation: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) implemented using Terraform for consistent and repeatable deployments.
• Monitoring: Integrated observability tools for real-time monitoring and logging.

AWS Services Used

• Compute: EC2 instances with auto-scaling groups.
• Storage: S3 buckets for static assets and backups.
• Database: RDS (Relational Database Service) for a managed database solution.
• Networking: Load Balancer for distributing traffic across multiple servers.
• Infrastructure Management: Terraform for provisioning and managing infrastructure.

Project Structure

• terraform/: Contains Terraform configuration files for setting up AWS resources.
• frontend/: Source code for the web application's frontend.
• backend/: Source code for the web application's backend.
• scripts/: Automation scripts for deployment and monitoring.

How to Deploy

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Kartik-yo/High-Availability-Web-Application-on-AWS.git
   cd High-Availability-Web-Application-on-AWS
   

2. Configure AWS credentials.
3. Deploy infrastructure using Terraform:

terraform init
terraform apply

4. Deploy the application to the provisioned infrastructure.

Monitoring

• CloudWatch: Monitors application and infrastructure performance.
• Prometheus & Grafana: For detailed metrics and dashboards.

Learnings and Outcomes

• Implemented a scalable and fault-tolerant application on AWS.
• Automated infrastructure management with Terraform.
• Gained hands-on experience with AWS best practices and services.
