E-Commerce Platform Infrastructure & Deployment

Project Overview

This repository demonstrates my expertise in modern DevOps practices and cloud-native architecture through a production-grade e-commerce platform deployment. The infrastructure is designed to be scalable, resilient, and follows industry best practices for security and monitoring.

Technical Stack

Infrastructure

• Cloud Provider: AWS EKS
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform
• Container Orchestration: Kubernetes
• Service Mesh: Istio
• Package Management: Kustomize
• Secrets Management: AWS Secrets Manager, Kubernetes Secrets

CI/CD

• Continuous Integration: GitHub Actions
• Deployment Strategy: GitOps with automated rollbacks
• Environment Management: Staging and Production environments

Monitoring & Observability

• Metrics: Prometheus
• Logging: ELK Stack
• Alerting: AlertManager

Architecture Highlights

System Architecture

AWS Infrastructure

• Microservices Architecture: Decomposed into independent, scalable services
• API Gateway Pattern: Centralized routing and authentication
• Event-Driven Design: Asynchronous communication using message queues
• Database Per Service: Independent data stores for service autonomy
• Auto-Scaling: HPA for dynamic workload management
• High Availability: Multi-AZ deployment with pod anti-affinity

DevOps Best Practices

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

  • Terraform modules for AWS infrastructure
  • Kustomize overlays for environment-specific configurations
  • Version-controlled infrastructure changes

• Continuous Deployment

  • Automated deployment pipelines
  • Environment promotion workflow
  • Canary deployments for risk mitigation

• Security

  • Network policies for service isolation
  • RBAC implementation
  • Secrets encryption at rest
  • Regular security scanning

• Monitoring

  • Real-time metrics and alerting
  • Distributed tracing
  • Centralized logging
  • Performance monitoring

Infrastructure Design

The infrastructure follows a multi-environment setup with complete isolation between staging and production:

• Networking: VPC with public and private subnets
• Security: Network ACLs, Security Groups, and Pod Security Policies
• Scalability: Auto-scaling groups and Horizontal Pod Autoscaling
• Reliability: Multi-AZ deployment with automated failover

Deployment Strategy

The deployment process implements a robust GitOps workflow:

1. Feature Branch → Automated testing and validation
2. Staging Branch → Deployment to staging environment
3. Main Branch → Production deployment with canary release

Each step includes automated validation, security checks, and rollback capabilities.
