Solution

1. 1. Architecture Design: The web application was designed using AWS services including Amazon Cognito, RDS, S3, and Lambda; ensuring an agile architecture that is scalable and secure.
2. 2. Security Implementation: Security best practices, such as network segmentation, encryption, and access controls, were implemented to protect data and ensure compliance with regulations. Due to regulatory requirements of the platform, security was core to every aspect of the design and implementation.
3. 3. User Management: Functionalities for user management were carefully designed and developed to assign roles and permissions based on user types, such as BDC Operator, Manager, Analyst, and Regulatory Body. A robust Access Control List (ACL) framework underpins the permissions of each role and controls were built in from day one to instantly terminate user permissions on demand, thus guaranteeing the ability to comply with regulatory requirements very quickly whenever there is such a need to prune user access (e.g., for security reasons).
4. 4. Application Development: The application was built with modern web development frameworks to provide intuitive user interfaces and robust backend functionalities for sales, reporting, customer management, and financial inventory tracking.
5. 5. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): CI/CD pipelines were set up using AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeDeploy for automated testing, deployment, and rollback of application updates.
6. 6. Monitoring and Logging: Monitoring and logging using Amazon CloudWatch were established to track application performance, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot issues in real-time.
7. 7. Scalability and High Availability: AWS Auto Scaling, Amazon Route 53, and Amazon CloudFront were utilized to ensure high availability and scalability of the web application across multiple regions and Availability Zones.
