🌎Network Architecture

Load Balancing

• Application Load Balancers: AWS ALB or Nginx for distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers based on load, ensuring high availability.

• Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB): For distributing traffic across multiple data centres or cloud regions, ensuring disaster recovery and reduced latency.

API Gateway

• Functionality: A single entry point for all microservices, handling request routing, API composition, and authentication.

• Rate Limiting & Quotas: Implementation of rate limiting and quotas at the API gateway level to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage.

Network Security

• Firewalls: Implementation of Web Application Firewall (WAF) for protecting against common web vulnerabilities.

• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Ensuring all components operate within a VPC, enabling network segmentation and control over inbound and outbound traffic.

• DDoS Protection: Utilization of services like AWS Shield for real-time DDoS attack detection and mitigation.
