About This Architecture

HIPAA-compliant healthcare data pipeline on AWS ingests patient events through WAF-protected API Gateway and Cognito authorization, routing to ECS Fargate microservices for ingestion, processing, and audit logging. Kinesis Data Streams and EventBridge enable real-time event streaming to Aurora PostgreSQL and S3 with KMS encryption at rest and TLS in transit, while AWS Glue transforms raw data through Lake Formation into Redshift for analytics. CloudWatch, CloudTrail, X-Ray, GuardDuty, and Security Hub provide comprehensive observability and threat detection across the entire pipeline. Fork this diagram to customize ingestion endpoints, add VPC isolation, or adjust Redshift cluster sizing for your healthcare workload. This architecture demonstrates defense-in-depth security controls, least-privilege IAM roles, and immutable audit trails required for HIPAA BAA compliance.
