Explanation

A production architecture combines a Python API, secure hosting, managed databases, storage, monitoring, and deployment automation.

Code:

architecture = {'api': 'FastAPI', 'hosting': 'EC2 or Beanstalk', 'database': 'RDS', 'storage': 'S3'}
print(architecture)

Explanation

Keep environment-specific settings and database URLs outside the source code.

Code:

import os
app_env = os.getenv('APP_ENV', 'production')
print(app_env)

Explanation

Use HTTPS, authentication, input validation, least-privilege IAM, and protected secrets.

Code:

security = ['HTTPS', 'Authentication', 'Validation', 'IAM', 'Secret management']
print(security)

Explanation

CloudWatch can collect application logs, metrics, and alerts from AWS resources.

Code:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logging.info('Application started')

Explanation

Use health checks, load balancing, dependency updates, backups, and automated testing to improve reliability.

Code:

maintenance = ['Health checks', 'Load balancing', 'Backups', 'Testing', 'Dependency updates']
print(maintenance)
