Architecture
The actual infrastructure uses production-grade equivalents of the school project requirements. Each component maps directly to the AWS/Azure services this site teaches.
| Component | School Requirement | What's Running | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting & CDN | S3 Static Website / Azure Blob + CDN | Cloudflare Pages | Global edge deployment, HTTPS automatic, CI/CD on push to main |
| Backend API | AWS Lambda / Azure Functions | Next.js Edge Runtime API Routes | Serverless functions deployed to Cloudflare Workers (edge runtime) |
| Database (visitor counter) | DynamoDB / CosmosDB | Supabase (PostgreSQL) | Serverless NoSQL-pattern API; atomic increment via stored procedure |
| DNS & HTTPS | Route 53 + ACM / Azure DNS | Cloudflare DNS + Auto-TLS | DNSSEC enabled, HTTPS enforced, automatic cert renewal |
| CI/CD | GitHub Actions / CodePipeline | GitHub Actions + Cloudflare Pages | Type-check → build → deploy on every push to main branch |
| Monitoring & Logging | CloudWatch / Azure Monitor | Cloudflare Analytics + Supabase Logs | Request logs, error rates, and visitor metrics available in dashboard |
| IaC | CloudFormation / Bicep / Terraform | Terraform (AWS provider — documented) | Equivalent Terraform config included in /docs for AWS S3+Lambda+DynamoDB stack |
