Case Study

AWS-Mirrored Full-Stack Apps - Terraform / GitLab CI/CD / HA

8+ production websites and apps deployed on AWS-mirrored Ubuntu stacks for autoscaling, high availability, and cloud/on-prem failover patterns.

Problem

Production sites and apps needed repeatable AWS deployment patterns that could support high availability, autoscaling, and cloud/on-prem failover instead of one-off manual server builds.

Architecture

The project used AWS-mirrored Ubuntu stacks with EC2, ELB, DynamoDB, Lambda, S3, Route 53, Terraform, and GitLab CI/CD to deploy and operate 8+ production websites and apps.

Constraints

  • Support autoscaling and high availability patterns.
  • Keep infrastructure repeatable through Terraform.
  • Use GitLab CI/CD to standardize deployment workflows.
  • Support cloud/on-prem failover patterns for Ubuntu-hosted applications.

Technologies

AWS Terraform GitLab CI/CD Ubuntu EC2 ELB DynamoDB Lambda S3 Route 53

Outcome

The work produced reusable deployment patterns for 8+ production websites and apps, with AWS mirroring, autoscaling, high availability, and failover concepts built into the infrastructure approach.
