AWS Deployment Architecture ​

This document provides a simplified overview of the AWS architecture used for deploying the cvhome multi-tenant platform using cvhome-ecs-fargate-infra.

Overview ​

The architecture uses managed AWS services to create a scalable, highly available, and secure environment for running the application's containerized microservices and frontends via AWS Fargate.

Main Components & Purpose ​

  • Compute (AWS Fargate + Amazon ECS):

    • Runs the application containers (API Gateway, backend services, frontends) without needing to manage servers.
    • Orchestrates the deployment and scaling of these containers.

  • Networking (Amazon VPC, Application Load Balancer, AWS Route 53):

    • Provides an isolated network environment (VPC).
    • Distributes incoming web traffic to the correct containers, handles SSL/TLS (ALB).
    • Manages DNS records, routing traffic for the main platform domain and tenant-specific domains/subdomains to the ALB (Route 53).

  • Data Storage (Amazon RDS + Amazon S3):

    • Provides a managed PostgresSQL database for application data (tenants, products, orders, etc.) (RDS).
    • Stores static files like images, assets, and tenant customizations (S3).

Key Benefits of this Architecture ​

  • Scalability: Services can scale automatically based on demand.
  • High Availability: Uses multiple Availability Zones to minimize downtime.
  • Security: Leverages AWS security features for network isolation, access control, and secrets management.
  • Reduced Operational Overhead: Relies on managed services, reducing the need for server patching and maintenance.
  • Multi-Tenancy Ready: Designed to handle custom domains/subdomains for different tenants via Route 53 and NLB.
