AWS Microservices with API Gateway and Service

About This Architecture

Multi-AZ microservices architecture on AWS using ECS Fargate, API Gateway, and App Mesh for service-to-service communication across four containerized services. Traffic flows through WAF and CloudFront CDN to API Gateway, which routes requests to Service A, B, C, and D running in private subnets with App Mesh sidecars for observability and traffic management. Services integrate with SQS, SNS, Aurora (primary/standby), DynamoDB, and ElastiCache, while CloudWatch and X-Ray provide monitoring and distributed tracing across availability zones us-east-1a and us-east-1b. This pattern demonstrates high-availability microservices with decoupled messaging, multi-database strategy, and comprehensive observability. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to match your service topology, add additional services, or adjust subnet CIDR blocks for your VPC design.

People also ask

How do I design a scalable microservices architecture on AWS with ECS Fargate, API Gateway, and service mesh?

This diagram shows a production-ready pattern: WAF and CloudFront protect the edge, API Gateway routes traffic to four ECS Fargate services across two AZs, App Mesh sidecars manage inter-service communication, and services use SQS/SNS for async workflows. Aurora (primary/standby), DynamoDB, and ElastiCache provide resilient data layers, while CloudWatch and X-Ray enable full-stack observability.
