Deploying applications to Amazon ECS
CircleCI executes our build steps each time we push a new commit. Now, we want to build our Docker image and deploy it automatically to a machine that will serve our application to the public.
Our database and uploaded images are hosted on AWS already, so we can also use AWS to serve our application. Setting up AWS correctly is a significant task, and it takes a large amount of time.
