Why Choose This Project?

In today’s always-online world, applications must remain available even during disasters, region outages, or traffic spikes. A multi-region architecture ensures your app runs smoothly and reliably, even if one AWS region becomes unavailable.

This project demonstrates high availability, failover automation, and disaster recovery using AWS services. It’s an ideal project for DevOps and Cloud Computing students who want to explore real-world reliability engineering.

Key Features

• Deployed in 2+ AWS Regions (e.g., us-east-1, eu-west-1)

• Active-Passive or Active-Active failover

• Global DNS-based routing with AWS Route 53

• Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and/or Global Accelerator

• Auto Scaling Groups in each region

• Multi-region S3 or DynamoDB Global Tables for cross-region sync

• IAM & VPC security best practices

Built With AWS Tech Stack

Architecture Flow

1. User sends a request to the global domain (via Route 53 or Global Accelerator).

2. Route 53 checks health of each region and routes traffic to the healthy one.

3. Each region runs its own compute resources, database, and application tier.

4. Data sync happens via S3 replication or DynamoDB Global Tables.

5. In case of failure, Route 53 fails over to the secondary region automatically.
