Edge

CloudFront + Route 53

Global content delivery with low-latency DNS routing. Static assets, article payloads, and media cached at 200+ edge locations.

Compute

EC2 & Fargate

Containerized microservices orchestrated via ECS/Fargate. Auto-scaling groups handle traffic spikes during research peaks.

🗄️
Data

Aurora PostgreSQL + DynamoDB

Primary relational database for article metadata & contributor graphs. DynamoDB handles session state and high-throughput event logging.

🧠
AI/ML

SageMaker & Bedrock

Custom LLM fine-tuning for semantic search, citation verification, and multilingual content summarization pipelines.

📦
Storage

S3 + Glacier

Immutable data lake for raw research uploads, historical archives, and versioned article snapshots. Lifecycle policies automate tiering.

🔁
Events

EventBridge + SQS/SNS

Decoupled event-driven architecture for real-time indexing, webhook notifications, and contributor approval workflows.

Encryption & Data Protection

KMS Managed Keys

All S3 objects, Aurora volumes, and RDS snapshots encrypted at rest using AWS KMS with CMK rotation enabled. Cross-account key grants strictly audited.

TLS 1.3 & WAF

End-to-end encryption in transit. AWS WAF rulesets protect against OWASP Top 10, rate limiting, and geo-blocking for sensitive research endpoints.

VPC Isolation

Multi-AZ private subnets for compute and database tiers. NAT gateways handle outbound traffic. Security groups follow least-privilege model.

AWS Shield Advanced

Always-on DDoS protection with automated mitigation. Custom response rates and health checks integrated with CloudWatch alarms.
