Tailwinds Security and Deployment
This article details the deployment model of Tailwinds, data security posture and other relevant material.
Tailwinds Deployment Overview
Tailwinds is designed with a strong emphasis on security, scalability, and isolation. Our architecture ensures that each customer's deployment is completely separate, providing maximum security and performance.
Key Security Features
Dedicated Infrastructure: Each customer receives their own unique deployment of Tailwinds SaaS, including dedicated hardware and servers.
Complete Isolation: There is no data overlap between customers. Each deployment is fully isolated from others, ensuring data privacy and security.
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Every customer's deployment resides in its own VPC, providing network-level isolation.
AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF): Protects your applications from common web exploits that could affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources.
Application Load Balancer (ALB): Automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, enhancing fault tolerance.
Deployment Architecture
Our deployment architecture leverages several AWS services to ensure security, scalability, and high availability:
AWS WAF: Sits at the front, protecting against web-based attacks.
Application Load Balancer (ALB): Distributes traffic across multiple Tailwinds instances.
Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service): Runs Tailwinds in containers, allowing for easy scaling and management.
Amazon EFS (Elastic File System): Provides scalable, elastic file storage for the containers.
Amazon RDS: Offers a scalable, high-performance database solution.
Benefits of Our Architecture
Scalability: The containerized architecture allows for easy scaling to meet demand.
High Availability: Multiple containers across different availability zones ensure continuous service.
Security: Multi-layered security approach with WAF, VPC isolation, and dedicated resources.
Performance: Dedicated resources ensure consistent performance for each customer.
Compliance: Our architecture helps support various compliance requirements due to its isolation model.
