01Problem
The challenge
The application needed to move onto AWS Elastic Beanstalk for API hosting, RDS for the database, S3 for frontend assets, and CloudFront as the CDN — across multiple availability zones, so a single zone going down would not take the application with it.
02Architecture
How it fits together
03Solution
What I built
Deploy the application on Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, S3, and CloudFront, spread across two availability zones behind a load balancer.
01
Elastic Beanstalk
API hosting
Runs the API with automated scaling, so deploys and capacity changes don't require manual server management.
02
RDS
Database
MySQL with automated backups and multi-AZ failover, so a database outage doesn't mean lost data.
03
S3
Asset storage
Holds frontend assets — durable storage that scales without capacity planning.
04
CloudFront
CDN
Serves assets from edge locations close to each visitor, cutting load time.
04Outcomes
What it delivered
Reliability
RDS high availability with automated backups.
Cost efficiency
Serverless pieces keep idle cost down.
Operational simplicity
Elastic Beanstalk removes most day-to-day management.
The deployment now runs across two availability zones with automated backups and load balancing in place — a database or single-zone failure no longer takes the application down with it.
