About This Architecture

Platform engineering reference architecture showcasing a golden path from code commit to production on AWS EKS. Developer workflows begin at Backstage Dev Portal, triggering CodeCommit, CodeBuild Pipelines, and CodeDeploy GitOps for continuous delivery. CloudFormation IaC provisions infrastructure while App Mesh Service Mesh and CloudWatch Observability provide runtime management and monitoring across the EKS Cluster. This architecture demonstrates how platform teams reduce cognitive load by abstracting Kubernetes complexity behind self-service interfaces and automated pipelines.
