Node Demo App on AWS Fargate

🚀 A fully-managed, demo-ready architecture for running a containerised Node.js app on AWS Fargate with:

• Application Load Balancer (ALB)
• HTTPS (ACM Certificate)
• Custom Domain (Route53)
• CloudWatch Logs
• GitHub Actions CI/CD

This project shows how to go from idea → online without managing servers or Kubernetes.

📐 Architecture

• Node.js app containerised with Docker (node:20-alpine)
• ECS Fargate Task Definition runs the container
• Application Load Balancer (ALB) exposes traffic on port 80/443
• Route53 DNS maps demo.iifancy.com → ALB
• ACM Certificate enables HTTPS
• CloudWatch Logs capture container logs
• CloudFormation templates define everything as code
• GitHub Actions handles CI/CD (build, push to ECR, deploy)

---

🛠 Prerequisites

• AWS CLI configured (aws configure)
• Docker with buildx enabled
• Domain hosted in Route53 (e.g., iifancy.com)
• ACM certificate for subdomain (e.g., demo.iifancy.com)
