Automating The Deployment of MERN Stack on AWS App Runner Using AWS Code Pipeline

Abstract

This paper explores the deployment of web applications utilizing AWS App Runner, a managed platform that simplifies the deployment process by allowing developers to select runtimes and deploy applications without the need for extensive configuration. It focuses on the advantages of using Docker runtime for API execution and web application deployment, highlighting the ease of dockerizing applications and the seamless integration with Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR). ECR provides a fully-managed Docker container registry, facilitating the efficient storage, management, and deployment of Docker container images. Additionally, the paper discusses the role of AWS CodeCommit as a secure, scalable, managed source control service for hosting private Git repositories, emphasizing its significance in the deployment pipeline. The combined use of these AWS services offers a streamlined, costeffective solution for deploying scalable and secure web applications directly from source code or container images to the AWS Cloud, thereby enhancing the deployment process for developers.
