AWS Event-Driven Platform | Project Spotlight

Architectural Core

The platform demonstrates a modern, scalable approach to building decoupled systems on AWS. By leveraging asynchronous messaging and serverless compute, the architecture ensures independent scaling and high availability.

⚡ Serverless Logic

API Gateway and AWS Lambda handling core processing with a pay-as-you-go model and zero infrastructure management.

📬 Event Orchestration

SQS and SNS working in tandem to decouple microservices and manage asynchronous, event-driven workflows.

📦 Containerized EC2

Frontend services hosted on EC2 via Docker, integrated with Amazon ECR for seamless version management.

🔄 CI/CD + SSM

Automated deployment pipeline using CodePipeline and CodeBuild with SSM-based execution for secure updates.

💾 Relational Data

Amazon RDS providing a robust, managed database layer for persistent application state and user data.

🛡️ Security & Monitoring

IAM-controlled access and CloudWatch logging for comprehensive visibility and operational excellence.

Project Visual Journey

System Architecture

High-level architectural overview of the end-to-end event-driven platform and CI/CD automation workflow.

Source Control

GitHub repository triggering the automated CI/CD lifecycle on every code push.

AWS CodePipeline

Central orchestration service managing the workflow from Source, through Build, to automated Deployment.

AWS CodeBuild Execution

Provisioning compute resources to build Docker images and prepare deployment artifacts.

Amazon ECR Registry

Secure storage for versioned Docker images, serving as the artifact repository for frontend deployment.

AWS Systems Manager (SSM)

Agent-based command execution for secure, SSH-less updates on managed EC2 instances.

Serverless Logic (AWS Lambda)

Managed function execution for backend logic, responsible for the **creation** and processing of application events.

Serverless Logic (AWS Lambda)

Detailed view of Lambda triggers and integrations, responsible for **retrieving (GET)** data across the event-driven ecosystem.

Serverless Logic (AWS Lambda)

Configuration of runtime settings and environment variables, responsible for managing **SQS queue** interactions and event processing.

RESTful Interface (API Gateway)

Managing API routes and handling secure communication between the frontend and backend logic.

Message Queuing (Amazon SQS)

Providing durable, asynchronous message delivery to decouple system components and manage traffic spikes.

Pub/Sub Notifications (Amazon SNS)

Broadcasting events to multiple subscribers for high-scale, event-driven communication.

Relational Database (Amazon RDS)

Managed SQL database instance ensuring persistent storage for relational application data.

Compute Hosting (EC2)

Virtual server instances running the containerized React application within the cloud.

Target Group Configuration

Managing the load balancer target group to ensure traffic is correctly routed to healthy compute instances.

Load Balancer Configuration

Configuring the Application Load Balancer to perform health checks and distribute traffic across availability zones.

Terminal Management

Secure browser-based SSH access via EC2 Instance Connect, providing a terminal to verify the status and health of Docker containers.

Global Content Delivery

Low-latency delivery of frontend assets through the CloudFront global edge network.

Application UI - Dashboard

Main dashboard interface providing a consolidated view of the platform's features.

Triggering the API.

SUCCESSFULLY TRIGGERS THE API

TRIGGERS THE GET API

Live Production State

Overall view of the fully deployed application serving live data from AWS. **Once a POST is triggered, an email will be sent to the registered user.**
