About This Architecture

Multi-region e-commerce platform leveraging Route 53 failover routing, CloudFront CDN, and AWS Shield for global resilience and DDoS protection. Traffic flows through WAF and ALBs to containerized ECS Fargate microservices (API, Cart, Order) across us-east-1 and eu-west-1 regions, with ElastiCache Redis and Aurora PostgreSQL replicas ensuring low-latency reads and automatic failover. This architecture demonstrates active-passive multi-region design with cross-AZ redundancy, meeting high-availability and disaster-recovery requirements for mission-critical retail workloads. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to adapt CIDR blocks, add additional regions, or integrate Lambda for serverless components. Consider implementing Aurora global database for read-only secondaries in eu-west-1 to reduce replication latency and improve consistency.

How do I design a multi-region e-commerce platform on AWS with automatic failover and high availability?

This diagram shows a production e-commerce architecture spanning AWS us-east-1 (primary) and eu-west-1 (secondary) regions. Route 53 failover routing directs traffic to the active region, while CloudFront CDN and AWS Shield provide global content delivery and DDoS protection. ECS Fargate microservices, Aurora PostgreSQL replicas, and ElastiCache Redis clusters across multiple AZs ensure low-latenc
