This tier is responsible for exposing the front-end services that our clients will require to perform operations. In this case, I recommend having a Content Delivery Network (CDN) such as Cloudfront to cache and distribute your UI resources (located in our application tier). However, there are some non-AWS solutions such as Cloudflare that can provide not only caching services but also some security services such as Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and security rules to prevent DoS and DDoS attacks (AWS also provides some of them).
Finally, we’ll require an authentication & authorisation service for our clients. As usual, you can develop your own, but I recommend to use out-of-the-box solutions that use the best practices, most common frameworks and industry standards. In the case of AWS, we can use Amazon Cognito as our **Authentication as a Service** (AaaS) provider. Cognito will help us with the complete authentication and authorisation life cycle of our system’s users. There are other non-AWS services such as Auth0 or Back& that you could also explore.
