This project demonstrates practical cloud solution design skills by building and
deploying a serverless employee management system using AWS and SQL. The
primary goal is to implement a serverless architecture leveraging AWS services like
Lambda, API Gateway, Amazon RDS, and S3. The system will perform CRUD
(Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on employee data, stored in an SQL
database (Amazon RDS). By utilizing AWS Lambda for backend processing and
Amazon API Gateway for exposing APIs, the project showcases the power of
serverless computing while maintaining robust data management. This project is an
opportunity to gain hands-on experience with AWS architecture, SQL database
management, and serverless application design, focusing on scalability, security, and
efficiency.

Keywords:
AWS, Serverless, Amazon RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, SQL, Cloud Architecture.

2. Aim
• The aim of this project is to design, deploy, and manage a cloud-based, serverless
employee management system using AWS and SQL. The project seeks to demonstrate
proficiency in AWS architecture by utilizing key services such as AWS Lambda,
Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service), and API Gateway. The goal is to create a
scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution that can handle employee data efficiently
through CRUD operations. This project also aims to showcase best practices in cloud
solution design, including serverless computing, database management, security, and
application performance monitoring. Additionally, it seeks to provide hands-on
experience in integrating multiple AWS services to solve real-world challenges, such
as secure data access, API management, and system scalability.

3. Objective and Scope
Objectives
• Implement a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda and API Gateway.
• Create and manage an SQL database using Amazon RDS.
• Perform CRUD operations on employee data via SQL queries.
• Expose RESTful APIs for data management through API Gateway.
• Ensure secure access to the RDS database using IAM roles and security groups.

• Monitor application performance and logs using Amazon CloudWatch.

5
Scope
•Automated Database Scaling: Leverage Amazon RDS’s features such as automated
scaling and backup for high availability and fault tolerance of the database, ensuring that
the system can handle varying workloads and failover seamlessly.
•Database Security and Encryption: Implement encryption both at rest and in transit
using AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for securing sensitive employee data stored
in the RDS database. This ensures data protection and compliance with security standards.
•Access Control & Authentication: Use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
roles and policies to control access to AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and RDS, ensuring
that only authorized entities can interact with the system.
•Load Balancing and Auto Scaling: Integrate Amazon API Gateway with AWS Lambda
to automatically balance the load and scale the backend functions based on traffic. This
will optimize performance and cost efficiency.
•Parameter and Secret Management: Use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store or
AWS Secrets Manager to securely manage environment variables and database
connection strings, ensuring that sensitive configuration data is protected and easily
retrievable.
•High Availability and Fault Tolerance: Set up multi-AZ (Availability Zones)
deployment for Amazon RDS to ensure high availability of the database. In case of an AZ
failure, the system can failover to a standby replica.

5. AWS Cloud Architecting
AWS Cloud Architecting involves a detailed and methodical approach to designing
cloud-based solutions on Amazon Web Services.

Requirements Analysis:
The process begins with a thorough understanding of the organization's
requirements, business goals, and technical needs. Architects work closely with
stakeholders to gather and document these requirements.

Solution Design:
Based on the requirements, architects design the overall cloud architecture.
This includes selecting the appropriate AWS services and resources for the application
or system. Key architectural decisions involve designing for scalability, availability,
performance, and cost-efficiency.

Service Selection:
AWS offers a vast array of services, and architects must choose the most
suitable ones for the project. This includes selecting compute resources (e.g., EC2
instances, Lambda), storage options (e.g., S3, EBS), databases (e.g., RDS, DynamoDB),
and more.
14
5. AWS Cloud Architecting
High Availability:
Architects design for high availability by distributing applications across
multiple Availability Zones within AWS regions to ensure resilience and fault
tolerance.
Security:
Security is a paramount concern. Architects must implement appropriate
security measures, including network segmentation, encryption, access controls,
and monitoring. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is often used for
user access control.
Scalability:
AWS offers auto-scaling capabilities that architects can use to ensure
applications can handle increased loads. Scalability is designed based on factors
such as traffic patterns and growth expectations.

15
 5. AWS Cloud Architecting
Data Management:
Architecting data storage and management is critical. Decisions on using
databases, data warehousing, and data migration strategies are made, considering
the specific data requirements.

Network Design:
Architects design the network architecture, including Virtual Private Cloud
(VPC) configuration, subnets, routing, and security groups to isolate and secure
resources.

Cost Optimization:
Cost management and optimization are vital. Architects must choose
resource types and sizes that balance performance with cost. They also set up cost-
monitoring tools to track and manage expenses.

Compliance and Governance:

Architects ensure that the architecture aligns with regulatory requirements
and best practices for compliance and governance. This includes data privacy
regulations, industry standards, and AWS Well-Architected Framework principles.
16
5. AWS Cloud Architecting
Disaster Recovery and Backup:
Designing for disaster recovery involves creating backup and data
replication strategies to ensure data availability and business continuity.

Performance Optimization:
Continuous monitoring and performance tuning are essential to ensure
that the AWS architecture delivers the required performance levels.

Documentation:
Architects document the entire architecture, including diagrams,
configurations, and best practices. This documentation is vital for communication,
knowledge sharing, and troubleshooting.

Deployment and Testing:

Once the architecture is designed, architects oversee the deployment of
the solution and conduct thorough testing to ensure that it meets the specified
requirements.

17
5. AWS Cloud Architecting
Monitoring and Maintenance:
Ongoing monitoring and maintenance are crucial. Architects implement
monitoring and alerting systems to detect and address any issues promptly.

Adaptation:
Cloud architecture is not static. Architects regularly assess the
architecture's performance and cost and make adjustments to accommodate
changing requirements and business goals.
