Deploying a web application on AWS

Recently, I embarked on a journey to deploy a web application on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and I'm excited to share the process with you. This blog post will guide you through the steps I took to get my application up and running on AWS.

Key Steps:

1. Local Testing:

   • Clone the repository.

   • Set up environment variables in a .env file.

   • Install dependencies and start the project using npm.

2. AWS EC2 Setup:

   • Create an IAM user with admin permissions.

   • Launch an EC2 instance using an Ubuntu image and a t2.micro instance type.

   • Connect to the instance using SSH.

   • Update packages and install Git, Node.js, and npm.

3. Deployment on AWS:

   • Clone the repository on the remote VM.

   • Set up environment variables.

   • Assign an Elastic IP to the EC2 instance.

   • Install dependencies and start the project.

   • Update security group inbound rules to allow traffic on the specified port.

The project is then successfully deployed on AWS.🎉
