AWS Three-Tier Web Application Architecture
About This Architecture
Three-tier AWS architecture separates web, application, and database layers across public and private subnets within a VPC. Internet traffic flows through an Application Load Balancer to an Auto Scaling Group of EC2 instances in the application tier. The database tier uses RDS PostgreSQL with a read replica for high availability, while S3 serves static assets. This pattern demonstrates AWS best practices for fault tolerance, horizontal scaling, and security isolation.
