Well-Architected review Serverless REST API with asynchronous processing · 2026-10-02 · mode full
Coverage audit
- AWS Well-Architected Framework — 6 pillars, 57 questions, 307 best practices, from the live documentation index, snapshot 2026-10-01 (0 days old).
- Assessed 307 framework BPs: 15 with diagram evidence, 290 cannot be determined.
- Evidence sources: architecture diagram (services, boundaries, relationships); cost estimate from the AWS Price List.
- Corpus read from a committed snapshot of the live documentation index (not re-fetched during this review). Re-read it with `archify-aws wa corpus --refresh`. Statuses reflect what the diagram and spec show. Process, configuration and runtime evidence are not observable here, so those BPs are 'Cannot Determine' rather than guessed.
Executive summary
This Well-Architected Framework review of Serverless REST API with asynchronous processing (standard criticality) assessed the architecture diagram only. 15 of 307 framework best practices have diagram evidence; the rest are Cannot Determine because process, configuration and runtime evidence is not in the diagram. No risks are evidenced. Estimated run cost is $349/month (indicative).

Findings
No gaps are evidenced in the diagram. That is not a clean bill of health: see the coverage audit for what could not be determined.
To confirm not drawn, so not counted as gaps
- No AWS KMS shown for data at rest SEC08-BP01 — Manage encryption keys in AWS KMS (customer managed keys where you need key policy, rotation or audit control) and enforce encryption at rest on every data store.
- No detection or audit services shown SEC04-BP01, SEC04-BP02 — Enable CloudTrail (organization trail), GuardDuty and Security Hub, and send logs and findings to a central, access-restricted account.
- No backup or recovery capability shown REL09-BP01, REL09-BP03 — Back up data automatically with AWS Backup (cross-account/cross-Region vault where required) and test restores against your RPO/RTO.
- No infrastructure-as-code or CI/CD shown OPS05-BP04, OPS05-BP10, REL08-BP05, SEC11-BP06 — Define infrastructure as code and deploy through a pipeline with small, reversible changes and automated rollback.
- No CDN / edge acceleration shown for end users PERF04-BP02, PERF04-BP06 — Serve content close to users with Amazon CloudFront or AWS Global Accelerator to reduce latency.
- No cost visibility shown COST01-BP03, COST01-BP06, COST03-BP05 — Set AWS Budgets with alert thresholds, enable Cost Anomaly Detection and cost allocation tags so spend maps to this workload.
Cross-pillar trade-offs
- Observability volume Operational excellence ↔ Cost optimization
CloudWatch is $12.30/month in this estimate, mostly log ingestion; richer telemetry improves detection but ingestion is billed per GB. Resolution: Sample verbose traces, set retention per log group, and keep full-fidelity logs for security and audit sources only.

- Add the missing process, configuration and runtime evidence to turn Cannot Determine practices into assessed ones.
- Re-run the review after changes, and when the architecture or documentation changes.
