1. Overview

High Level Architecture Below...

AWS EC2 instance: Hosts the application.

Docker: Runs the website as a containerized service.

Nginx/Apache: Acts as the web server and reverse proxy.

MySql Database: Runs on a separate container on same instance.

Redis Cache : Runs on a separate container on same instance.

Elastic Load Balancer (optional): For future scalability.

Amazon S3 : For static daily feed storage.

3. Components
a. AWS EC2 Instance

1. Launch a t3.medium or larger EC2 instance depending on the application's workload.
2. Use Amazon Linux 2 or Ubuntu as the operating system.

b. Docker Setup

1. Install Docker on the EC2 instance.
2. Use Docker Compose to define and manage multi-container applications.

c. Containers - 1.Web Server (Nginx/Apache)

1. Acts as a reverse proxy, forwarding HTTP/HTTPS requests to the application server.
2. Can also handle static file serving if needed.

c. Containers - 2.UI Logic

1. Use a programming language/framework like Next.js.
2. Alternatively, use Node.js, Django, Flask, etc.
3. The application code and dependencies are packaged into a Docker image.

c. Containers - 3.Application Server

1. Use a programming language/framework like SprintBoot.
2. Alternatively, use Node.js, Tomcat, Weblogic etc.
3. The application code and dependencies are packaged into a Docker image.

c. Containers - 4.Database

1. Run a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL in a separate Docker container.
2. Alternatively, use Amazon RDS for a managed database solution.

c. Containers - 5.Cache

1. Run a cache like Redis in a separate Docker container.
2. Alternatively, use Amazon Elastic for a managed caching solution.
