About This Architecture

Three-tier AWS web architecture combining Application Load Balancer, Auto Scaling EC2 instances, and RDS PostgreSQL with read replica for high availability. Users access dynamic content through ALB distributing traffic across t3.medium EC2 instances within an Auto Scaling Group, while CloudFront CDN serves static assets from S3. The data tier leverages RDS PostgreSQL primary with synchronous replication to a read replica, enabling read scaling and failover resilience. Ideal for production workloads requiring sub-second failover and horizontal scaling without re-architecting.

How do I design a highly available three-tier web application on AWS with database read replicas?

This AWS diagram shows a three-tier architecture using Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic across Auto Scaling EC2 instances, RDS PostgreSQL with a read replica for database resilience, and CloudFront with S3 for static asset delivery.
