Capstone: Global E-Commerce Platform Architecture
This project challenges you to synthesize everything learned in Module 17.
Scenario
You are the Lead Platform Engineer for a global e-commerce company preparing for Black Friday. Last year, a single region outage caused millions in lost revenue. Your task is to re-architect the platform.
Requirements
- Multi-Region Active-Active Setup: The platform must serve traffic from three distinct geographic regions simultaneously.
- Database Strategy: Implement a sharding and caching layer to handle 100k requests per second.
- Disaster Recovery: Demonstrate an automated failover scenario with zero data loss (RPO = 0) and minimal downtime (RTO < 1m).
Deliverables
- A comprehensive architectural diagram.
- Terraform code to bootstrap the base infrastructure.
- A technical document defending your design choices.
