AWS Three-Tier Web App - Multi-AZ with RDS Replica

aws · architecture diagram.

About This Architecture

Multi-AZ three-tier web app leveraging Route 53, CloudFront CDN, WAF, and Application Load Balancers across us-east-1a and us-east-1b. Traffic flows through Shield and Certificate Manager to public subnets, then to Auto Scaling Groups of EC2 t3.large instances in private app subnets, which connect to RDS PostgreSQL primary and read replica databases plus ElastiCache clusters for session and query caching. This architecture demonstrates AWS best practices for fault tolerance, auto-scaling, and defense-in-depth security with CloudWatch, CloudTrail, IAM, and Secrets Manager integration. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to match your VPC CIDR blocks, instance types, and monitoring thresholds. The read replica pattern enables read-heavy workloads to scale independently while maintaining strong consistency for transactional writes.

How do I design a highly available AWS web application with automatic failover across multiple availability zones?

This diagram shows a three-tier AWS architecture spanning us-east-1a and us-east-1b with Route 53 DNS failover, CloudFront CDN, WAF protection, and Application Load Balancers routing to Auto Scaling EC2 instances. RDS PostgreSQL primary and read replica databases provide data redundancy, while ElastiCache clusters reduce database load. CloudWatch, CloudTrail, IAM, and Secrets Manager ensure observ
