About This Architecture

Super Savings Retail Platform is a multi-tier AWS distributed architecture spanning six private subnets with public-facing DMZ, edge security, and microservices-driven compute. Traffic flows from Route 53 and CloudFront through WAF and Shield Advanced into an Application Load Balancer, which routes requests to seven ECS microservices (Orders, Inventory, Payments, Logistics, Users, Notifications, Promotions) across the Compute Layer. Event-driven asynchrony is powered by EventBridge, SQS queues, SNS fan-out, and Step Functions orchestration, decoupling services and enabling saga-pattern transactions. Data persistence spans Aurora relational databases, DynamoDB NoSQL stores, ElastiCache Redis, and Location Service, all encrypted with KMS and backed up to S3. Comprehensive observability and compliance are provided by CloudWatch, X-Ray, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Security Hub, with IAM RBAC and Cognito authentication securing access. This architecture demonstrates enterprise-grade resilience, security, and operational visibility for high-volume retail workloads.
