About This Architecture

FundFinder Cameroon's grant platform uses a multi-tier AWS architecture combining WordPress EC2 instances, ECS containers, and Lambda functions to aggregate grants from UN, World Bank, African Development Bank, USAID, and EU funding portals. Traffic flows through Route 53 DNS, CloudFront CDN, WAF, and ALB to WordPress application servers in two availability zones, with RDS Primary/Replica databases, DynamoDB sessions, ElastiCache Redis caching, and S3 media storage. This architecture delivers high availability, scalability, and security for NGO users accessing grant opportunities via web browsers and mobile devices. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to adapt the design for your own multi-source data aggregation platform. The Lambda Content Handler layer enables real-time integration with external grant portals while maintaining separation of concerns.

How do you design a scalable AWS architecture for aggregating grants from multiple external portals with high availability?

FundFinder Cameroon demonstrates a robust pattern: CloudFront CDN and WAF protect traffic, ALB distributes load across multi-AZ WordPress EC2 instances, Lambda Content Handlers integrate external grant portals (UN, World Bank, USAID, African Dev. Bank, EU), RDS Primary/Replica ensures database resilience, and DynamoDB/ElastiCache optimize session and content caching.
