Daily Journal app

A journaling app with email-based registration and token verification, deployed end to end on AWS. Backend runs on ECS Fargate with a PostgreSQL database on RDS, sitting inside a private VPC with NAT Gateway for outbound access. ALB routes traffic from API to ECS. Built entirely from the ground up in Terraform, containerized with Docker, with secrets and authentication handled by AWS-native services rather than custom code.
