AWS Infrastructure

Architecting and operating cloud-native infrastructure for Phoenix Contact's global web and e-commerce platforms — built for reliability, security, and scale.

60 → 10 min

RDS PostgreSQL upgrade downtime via blue/green deployment automation

12+ yrs

Operating production AWS infrastructure at global scale

Multi-region

Web and e-commerce platforms serving teams across North America and Europe

Core Infrastructure

The platform is built around a set of AWS primitives managed through infrastructure-as-code and operated with a reliability-first mindset.

🐳 ECS Fargate

Containerized application workloads running on fully managed compute — no EC2 fleet management, predictable scaling, and clean deployment boundaries.

🌐 CloudFront & ALB

Global CDN distribution via CloudFront backed by Application Load Balancers, with Akamai CDN/WAF for additional edge security and traffic management.

🗄️ RDS PostgreSQL

Managed relational databases with a blue/green upgrade strategy that cut major version upgrade downtime by over 80%.

🔁 Route 53 & DNS

DNS management and traffic routing across global environments, supporting staged rollouts and failover strategies.

📦 S3 & Static Assets

Durable object storage for static assets, deployment artifacts, and data pipelines integrated with CloudFront for global delivery.

🔐 IAM & Security

Least-privilege IAM policies, security scanning integrated into CI/CD pipelines, and API gateway hardening via OpenResty and NGINX.

Infrastructure as Code

All infrastructure is defined, versioned, and deployed through code — eliminating configuration drift and enabling repeatable environments.

🏗️ Terraform

Primary IaC tool for provisioning and managing AWS resources. Modular architecture with reusable components across environments.

⚙️ Ansible

Configuration management and automation for server provisioning, patching, and application deployment across Linux environments.

☁️ CloudFormation

AWS-native stack management for services tightly integrated with the AWS ecosystem, used alongside Terraform where appropriate.

Observability

Production systems are only as reliable as your ability to understand what's happening in them.

📊 CloudWatch

Metrics, logs, and alarms across all AWS services — with alert fatigue mitigation as a core design goal.

🔍 OpenSearch

Centralized log aggregation and search across distributed services, replacing legacy ELK stack deployments.

📡 Dynatrace

Full-stack APM and infrastructure monitoring driving observability standards across the platform.
