AWS Three-Tier Web App - Multi-AZ with RDS Replica
About This Architecture
Multi-AZ three-tier web application on AWS with Route 53 DNS, CloudFront CDN, WAF, and Shield protecting traffic through an Internet Gateway to Application Load Balancers. Auto Scaling Groups of EC2 t3.medium instances in private subnets across AZ-1 and AZ-2 connect to RDS PostgreSQL primary and read replica databases, ElastiCache clusters, DynamoDB, and S3 for stateless, scalable workloads. This architecture demonstrates AWS best practices for high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery by distributing compute and data resources across multiple availability zones with automated failover. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize VPC CIDR blocks, instance types, or add additional services like Lambda or API Gateway. The read replica and multi-AZ deployment ensure RPO and RTO targets are met while optimizing costs through intelligent caching and auto-scaling policies.
