Back End

Designed full architectural solution in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to support a website using different services, including database management, networking via a virtual private cloud, and auto scaling groups of web servers to sustain fast response times during heavy traffic across two availability zones

During my course in cloud computing, I had the opportunity to learn about Amazon Web Services (AWS), each week learning about different services and using them in a simple lab.

Towards the end of the course, I was challenged to design a full architectural solution using AWS to support a website, handling varied traffic, a database, and availability in the case of a server failure. I started by designing my architecture using Figma and the standard AWS icon library to represent each service, estimated and optimized my costs using the AWS pricing calculator, then implemented the architecture within the lab environment.

This course and project really opened my eyes to the power of cloud computing and it was really exciting to see how AWS and other cloud platforms can be used to build scalable and reliable applications. I'm looking forward to learning more and applying these skills in more real world projects as I build a greater understanding of cloud computing.

Thanks for checking out my project!
