What is a 3 tier architecture in AWS?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:15 pm

A 3 tier architecture in AWS refers to the use of a front-end web server, a middleware server, and a back-end database server. The front-end web server handles the user interface and interacts with the user. The middleware server handles all the business logic and provides a layer of security. The back-end database server stores the user’s data.

PRO TIP: A three-tier architecture is an architecture pattern that consists of three tiers or layers of software: presentation, application, and database. Each tier is distributed to a different server. A three-tier architecture is typically used to improve performance and scalability, and to enable greater security and flexibility.

In a 3 tier architecture, the front-end web server is typically a web server that runs on the customer’s premises. The middleware server is typically a server that is housed in AWS and is used to process the requests from the back-end database server. The back-end database server is typically a server that is housed in AWS and is used to store the user’s data.
