• Mobile Clients: Android, iOS applications

2. Server-Side Components

• Web Servers:

  • Amazon EC2: Virtual servers for running web applications

  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Deploy and manage applications

• Application Servers:

  • AWS Lambda: Serverless compute for event-driven workloads

  • Amazon EC2: General-purpose compute

• Database Servers:

  • Amazon RDS: Managed relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)

  • Amazon Aurora: High-performance, fully managed relational database

3. Databases

• Relational Databases (SQL):

5. Load Balancers

• Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): Distribute traffic across multiple servers

  • Application Load Balancer (ALB): For HTTP/HTTPS traffic

  • Network Load Balancer (NLB): For TCP/UDP traffic

  • Classic Load Balancer (CLB): Legacy applications

6. Message Queues

• Amazon SQS: Simple Queue Service for reliable messaging

• Amazon SNS: Simple Notification Service for pub/sub messaging

7. API Gateways
