What is an API Server and Why We Host Ours at AWS

An API server is a critical part of darwin.Cloud's digital infrastructure that acts as a bridge between the darwin.Cloud website and your SQL Server data. It enables seamless communication by providing a secure way for darwin.Cloud to send and receive data. For instance, when you interact with darwin—whether it's entering new data, retrieving information, or processing a request to send data to your franchise—our API servers handle these behind-the-scenes tasks to ensure a smooth and responsive experience.

Why We Use AWS to Host Our API Servers

AccountTECH hosts multiple API servers at Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS offers us the ability to:

  • Scale effortlessly: Handle growing demand and sudden traffic spikes with load-balanced servers that evenly distribute incoming requests.
  • Ensure reliability: Maintain uninterrupted service with robust, redundant infrastructure designed to minimize downtime.
  • Enhance security: Protect sensitive data with advanced encryption, firewalls, and secure access policies.

Security and Integration with Cloudflare

For added security, our API servers are configured to only interact ONLY with our web application hosted via Cloudflare. There is no path to reach the API servers from AccountTECH unless you are logged in as an authorized user of darwin.Cloud. This ensures that:

  • Restricted Access: Only authorized requests from darwin.Cloud can reach the API servers.
  • Protection from threats: Cloudflare acts as a shield, protecting our infrastructure from malicious attacks or unauthorized access.

By combining the power of AWS and Cloudflare, we deliver a secure, fast, and reliable experience for all users, ensuring that your data and interactions remain safe at every step.
