XYZ Corporation Multi-Database Infrastructure - A comprehensive AWS database architecture implementation demonstrating enterprise-grade multi-AZ deployment, cross-region read replicas, real-time data processing, and intelligent caching solutions for nationwide branch operations.
- ✅ 99.9% Database Availability with Multi-AZ RDS deployment
- ✅ 75% Latency Reduction through intelligent caching strategies
- ✅ Real-Time Data Processing with Kinesis and DynamoDB integration
- ✅ Cross-Region Read Performance via strategic replica placement
- ✅ Automated Backup & Recovery with 2-day retention policy
- ✅ Zero Downtime Scaling for growing user base
📋 Complete Automation Scripts: GitHub Gists Collection
While this case study demonstrates hands-on AWS Console implementation for learning purposes, I've also created production-ready automation scripts that achieve the same results programmatically:
| Script | Purpose | Gist Link |
|---|---|---|
| 🗄️ RDS Multi-AZ Setup | Primary database with high availability | View Script |
| 🔄 Read Replica Management | Cross-region replica deployment | View Script |
| ⚡ Kinesis Pipeline | Real-time data streaming setup | View Script |
| 💾 DynamoDB Configuration | NoSQL database for real-time analytics | View Script |
| 🚀 ElastiCache Deployment | Redis caching layer automation | View Script |
Why Both Approaches?
- Manual Implementation (This Repo) → Understanding complex database architectures deeply
- Automated Scripts (Gists) → Production-ready Infrastructure as Code
