About This Architecture

Multi-region e-commerce platform leveraging Route 53 failover routing, CloudFront CDN, and AWS Shield Advanced for global edge protection across us-east-1 and eu-west-1 regions. Traffic flows through WAF and Certificate Manager to ALBs distributing requests to ECS Fargate microservices (API, Cart), with ElastiCache Redis for caching, Aurora PostgreSQL for transactional data, and DynamoDB for sessions. Each region spans two availability zones with automated backups, Aurora Global Database replication, and ECR container registries enabling zero-downtime deployments. CloudWatch, CloudTrail, X-Ray, and GuardDuty provide observability and security monitoring across the entire platform. Fork this diagram to customize VPC CIDR blocks, add additional regions, or integrate SQS and EventBridge for asynchronous order processing workflows.

How do I architect a multi-region e-commerce platform on AWS with automatic failover and global edge caching?

This diagram shows a production e-commerce architecture spanning us-east-1 and eu-west-1 regions, using Route 53 failover routing to direct traffic to the nearest healthy region. CloudFront CDN with WAF and Shield Advanced protects against DDoS attacks at the edge, while ECS Fargate microservices, Aurora Global Database, and ElastiCache Redis provide low-latency compute, data replication, and cach
