Deploy NodeJS Application On AWS ECS Fargate Using GitHub Actions
🚀 Deploy Node.js to AWS ECS Fargate—The Serverless Way! In this step-by-step tutorial, we automate the deployment of a containerized Node.js application using GitHub Actions and Amazon ECS Fargate.
Stop managing EC2 instances! Learn how to leverage AWS Fargate for a fully managed, serverless container experience. We cover everything from Dockerizing your app and pushing to Amazon ECR to updating Task Definitions and monitoring logs in CloudWatch.
