In this project, students are challenged to use AWS services to design and deploy a database-backed web application in the AWS Cloud without step-by-step guidance. The architecture must reflect the principles of the AWS Well-Architected Framework and be highly available, scalable, high performing, and secure. Specific sections of the assignment are meant to challenge students on skills that they have acquired throughout the learning process.
