Plan, compare, and launch with fewer gaps

This guide now includes decision support, architecture templates, a stack planner, learning paths, a glossary, and a browser-saved production checklist.

Cloudflare-ready static guide

No backend, no database, no build pipeline required for Pages. Every feature is static HTML and client-side JavaScript.

Compare services

Review fit, tradeoffs, and common pairings.

Architecture templates

Start from common production patterns.

Production checklist

Track launch readiness in the browser.

Stack planner

Generate a recommended service stack.

Learning paths

Follow role-based AWS study paths.

Glossary

Search production architecture terms.

Core path

Start with accounts, IAM, networking, compute, data, CI/CD, observability, security, backups, and cost controls.

Use selectively

Not every app needs every service. Add services when they solve a clear production requirement.

Before go-live

Validate scaling, quotas, rollback, monitoring, restore, incident response, and security evidence.

High availability application design flow

This is a production reference flow for a highly available web or API application running across multiple Availability Zones.

Request and runtime path

  1. 1Users reach Route 53, which routes the domain to CloudFront or directly to an Application Load Balancer.
  2. 2CloudFront caches static content from S3 and places AWS WAF in front of public traffic.
  3. 3The load balancer sends healthy traffic to ECS, EKS, Lambda, or EC2 Auto Scaling targets across at least two Availability Zones.
  4. 4Application services read secrets from Secrets Manager or Parameter Store and use IAM roles instead of static credentials.
  5. 5State is kept outside compute in RDS Multi-AZ, Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, EFS, or S3 depending on the access pattern.
  6. 6CloudWatch, X-Ray, CloudTrail, Config, GuardDuty, and Security Hub provide metrics, traces, audit history, drift, and threat signals.

Production design checklist

  • AZRun compute and data paths across multiple Availability Zones.
  • ScaleUse Auto Scaling, target tracking, queue depth, or Lambda concurrency controls.
  • DeployPrefer rolling, blue/green, or canary deployments with fast rollback.
  • DataEnable backups, point-in-time recovery, encryption, lifecycle rules, and restore drills.
  • NetworkUse private subnets for workloads and data stores, controlled egress, security groups, and least-open routing.
  • OpsCreate dashboards, alarms, runbooks, budgets, incident contacts, and game-day tests before launch.

Simple application flow from GitHub repo to AWS

Use this path for a small production app, then add more managed services as traffic, compliance, or team needs grow.

Deployment pipeline

  1. 1Developer pushes code to GitHub and opens a pull request.
  2. 2GitHub Actions or AWS CodePipeline runs tests, linting, security checks, and builds the artifact or container image.
  3. 3Artifacts go to S3 or container images go to Amazon ECR with image scanning enabled.
  4. 4CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform, SAM, or Amplify updates the AWS infrastructure and application environment.
  5. 5The app deploys to Amplify, S3 plus CloudFront, Elastic Beanstalk, App Runner, ECS Fargate, Lambda, or EC2 depending on app type.
  6. 6CloudWatch alarms, logs, traces, deployment notifications, and rollback rules confirm whether the release is healthy.

Minimal service map

  • FrontendGitHub -> Amplify, or S3 + CloudFront + Route 53 + ACM.
  • APIGitHub -> CodePipeline/GitHub Actions -> Lambda + API Gateway, or ECS Fargate + ALB.
  • DatabaseDynamoDB for simple serverless NoSQL, RDS/Aurora for relational workloads.
  • SecretsSecrets Manager or SSM Parameter Store, never plaintext config in the repo.
  • ObservabilityCloudWatch logs, metrics, alarms, dashboards, and X-Ray tracing for request debugging.
  • SecurityIAM roles, WAF for public apps, CloudTrail audit logs, GuardDuty threat detection, and AWS Backup where supported.
