Architecture
JakLingko uses a loosely-coupled distributed architecture, which enables the scaling of the various components of the architecture independently. The Web-tier collects user requests and performs the heavy lifting of processing the business logic and talking to the database. The load balancer then helps distribute the workload between two availability zones.
In the case of the database, JakLingko has a standby instance in secondary zone, which will failover and become the primary instance in the event of an issue in primary zone. Both the master and standby instances continuously synchronize data. Non-web transmission of data over the network such as Secure Shell (SSH) is encrypted with a virtual private network (VPN).
Among the products used by JakLingko include:
• Elastic Compute Service (ECS)
• Server Load Balancer (SLB)
• ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL
