Automate Deployment with Terraform User Data | Docker + GitHub Actions | Flight Booking App | Day 21
In Day 21 of the Flight Booking Backend series, we take automation to the next level — using Terraform User Data scripts to install and configure everything our app needs on AWS. 🚀
This shell script runs automatically when GitHub Actions applies Terraform, handling:
• Installing Docker & Docker Compose
• Cloning our GitHub repo
• Setting environment variables for production
• Running the FastAPI backend project in containers
By the end of this session, you’ll know how to:
✅ Automate server setup end-to-end with Terraform
✅ Provision infra + deploy app in one GitHub Action
✅ Scale deployments for backend, frontend, and future AI services
⸻
We’re building this Flight Booking App end-to-end:
✅ FastAPI backend
🌐 Next.js frontend
🧪 DevOps & CI/CD with Terraform + GitHub Actions
🤖 AI integrations coming soon
