What problem it solves?

Everyone can host a basic website on AWS that's old news what actually something secure,fast and smart with resource I have. You can't just dump an HTML file somewhere, becuase there are hacker that can come form anywhere, users who'll just bounce if your site takes more than a second load and budgets which needs to be managed that the real problem we're solving here.

How I build it?

The AWS resources in that I'll deep dive:

1. AWS S3: That's the foundation for our starage.
2. CloudFront: We're going to plug in cloudfront to blast the content worldwide very fast.
3. Certificate Manager: Security wise AWS certificate manager will handle https.
4. WAF: We're throwing WAF(Web Application Firewall)
5. CloudWatch: Cloudwatch keeps an eye on everthing with custom dashboards and alerts.
6. AWS Route 53: For custom domain.

The Business Impact It Will Create!!!

1. Speed & Performance – CloudFront ensures fast content delivery with low latency.
2. Security – AWS Certificate Manager enables HTTPS, and WAF protects against attacks.
3. Cost Efficiency – Pay-as-you-go pricing with CloudFront reducing bandwidth costs.
4. Scalability & Reliability – AWS auto-scales based on demand with high availability.
5. Monitoring – CloudWatch provides real-time insights with alerts and logs.

AWS Architecture for Hosting a Static Website

This architecture is designed to host a secure, scalable, and high-performance static website using AWS services. Let me walk you through it:

1️⃣ User Request (Entry Point)

🔹 A user initiates a request by visiting https://mindfulcloud.devsuraj.me.
🔹 The request is sent to Amazon Route 53, which is the DNS service responsible for resolving domain names into IP addresses.

2️⃣ Route 53 → CloudFront

🔹 Route 53 forwards the request to Amazon CloudFront (a CDN service).
🔹 CloudFront serves cached content if available, reducing latency.

3️⃣ Security Layer

🔹 AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) protects against threats like:

• SQL Injection
• Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
• DDoS attacks
  🔹 AWS ACM (AWS Certificate Manager) provides SSL/TLS encryption for secure HTTPS communication.

4️⃣ Fetching Content from S3

🔹 If the content is not cached in CloudFront, it fetches the latest version from Amazon S3 (which stores the static website files like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images).
🔹 S3 acts as the origin server for CloudFront.

5️⃣ Monitoring & Logging

🔹 AWS CloudWatch monitors:

• CloudFront: Request logs, cache hit ratio, performance metrics
• S3: Storage access patterns, request metrics
  🔹 This helps track website performance, security incidents, and errors.

Key Benefits of This Architecture

✅ Low Latency: CloudFront caches content globally, reducing load times.
✅ High Availability: S3 ensures durability (99.999999999%) and scalability.
✅ Security: WAF blocks threats, and ACM ensures HTTPS encryption.
✅ Cost Efficiency: Pay only for what you use (CloudFront reduces S3 requests).
✅ Real-time Monitoring: CloudWatch provides insights into performance and security.
