This Guidance helps customers design a resilient three-tier web application with a React front end, API/AWS Lambda middle tier, and Amazon Aurora global database back end. The application is deployed across two AWS Regions for automated failover and failback from one Region to another, achieving active and warm standby disaster recovery patterns. Additionally, Amazon CloudWatch supports observability instrumentation for this multi-Region architecture by obtaining insights from application stacks and aggregating them with relevant infrastructure metrics, which can help customers decide when to failover the application to another Region. Amazon Route53 Application Recovery Controller routes traffic between multiple Regions and automates failover through integration with AWS Systems Manager documents.
