Architecture and Data Flow Overview
Cloud Infrastructure
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the primary cloud service provider
- Application hosted on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)
- Redis for event queue management
- PostgreSQL for persistent data storage
Data Flow
- Client requests are sent to our API server hosted on AWS ECS
- During LLM inference operations, events are generated and pushed to Redis queue
- Celery workers consume these events from Redis
- Data is batch inserted into PostgreSQL database
Security and Encryption Standards
- All API communications secured via TLS 1.2+ (HTTPS)
- Authentication credentials and API keys are hashed using SHA-256 (SHA-2 family) before storage
- Data at rest is encrypted using AWS-managed encryption (AES-256)
- Inter-service communication within AWS infrastructure is secured through AWS security groups
Security Operations
- Regular internal security audits (monthly)
- Weekly security testing of applications
- Continuous monitoring via AWS CloudWatch
- Regular code reviews (weekly)
- Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing planned for next security roadmap phase
Access Controls
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required
- Role-based access control (RBAC) with least privilege
- Just-in-time (JIT) access for administrative functions
- Regular access reviews and deprovisioning
Incident Response
- Dedicated incident response team with defined roles
- Customer notification within 24 hours of any security incident
- Detailed incident reports and remediation plans
- Post-incident reviews and continuous improvement
Business Continuity
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 4 hours
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 1 hour
- Automated daily backups with cross-region replication
- Regular disaster recovery testing
Compliance & Certifications
- SOC 2 Type II - Security, Availability, Confidentiality (Certified)
- HIPAA - Healthcare data protection compliance
- GDPR - European data protection compliance
- AWS and GCP security frameworks utilized
