Containerized Architecture on AWS (ECS & Fargate)

Key highlights

Built scalable container-based architecture using ECS Fargate, ALB, CloudFront, and S3 for stateless workloads.

Executed automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions and AWS CodePipeline — seamless build, scan, and deploy.

Integrated container image vulnerability scanning with Trivy and AWS Inspector before deployment.

Improved application availability and scalability while reducing EC2 operational overhead.

Overview

Designed and deployed a container platform for stateless application workloads on AWS, removing the operational overhead of managing EC2 hosts by going serverless with ECS Fargate.

Architecture

ECS on Fargate runs the containers — no servers to patch or scale manually.
Application Load Balancer (ALB) handles routing and health checks.
CloudFront + S3 serve static assets close to users.
Docker images are built, scanned, and shipped through CI/CD.

CI/CD pipeline

Automated pipelines with GitHub Actions and AWS CodePipeline handle build → scan → deploy. Every image is scanned with Trivy and AWS Inspector before it can reach production, so known-vulnerable images never get deployed.

Outcome

Higher availability and scalability with lower operational overhead — and a deployment workflow that’s fully automated and security-gated end to end.
