About This Architecture

Enterprise API governance platform spanning three VPCs across experience, process/middleware, and system/backend layers with comprehensive security, observability, and hybrid connectivity. Internet users, partners, and on-premise systems connect through WAF, Route 53, CloudFront, and multiple API Gateway instances enforcing OAuth2, mTLS, and IAM authentication. EventBridge, Step Functions, and container orchestration (ECS/EKS) enable event-driven workflows, while RDS Aurora, DynamoDB, and Redshift provide multi-model data persistence with cross-account CloudWatch, X-Ray, and CloudTrail governance. This architecture demonstrates zero-trust API design, least-privilege IAM, and compliance-ready observability critical for regulated financial and enterprise workloads.

Consider adding AWS API Gateway resource policies and VPC Flow Logs for enhanced network forensics.

How do I design a multi-VPC AWS API governance platform with security, observability, and hybrid connectivity?

This diagram shows a three-VPC architecture separating experience (API Gateway, CloudFront, WAF), process/middleware (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, EKS), and system/backend (RDS Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift) layers. Security is enforced via Cognito OAuth2, mTLS, IAM roles, KMS encryption, and GuardDuty, while cross-account CloudWatch, X-Ray, and CloudTrail provide governance and compliance vi
