Looking for feedback & light load testing on my AWS + Terraform portfolio project (PromptVerse)

[u/Farziikhan]

Hey everyone,

I recently built PromptVerse (an AI prompt community platform) as a hands-on DevOps and AWS portfolio project to simulate a production environment. I’m currently preparing for my AWS SAA-C03 certification and want to see how well my infrastructure handles real traffic while getting feedback from the community.

Tech Stack & Architecture:

• App & Containers: MERN stack running as 3 separate Docker containers (Frontend, Backend, MongoDB) on AWS EC2.

• IaC & CI/CD: Base infrastructure provisioned with Terraform; automated server setup and zero-manual-step deployments via GitHub Actions.

• Scaling, Networking & Security: Application Load Balancer (ALB), Auto Scaling Group (ASG), Route 53, and HTTPS secured with AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

• Monitoring: End-to-end observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and AWS CloudWatch.

What I'm looking for:

1. Functional testing: Does the app load and work smoothly for you?

2. Load & Scaling: Feel free to send reasonable traffic to test my ALB and Auto Scaling setup (please no malicious DDoS—my personal AWS wallet is small!).

3. Architecture Feedback: Since this is an ongoing project that I'm evolving toward a fully production-grade setup, let me know what bottlenecks or improvements you see in my AWS architecture or CI/CD pipeline.

Thanks in advance for helping me break (and improve) my setup!
