In our previous blog, How to build and run scalable, secure & containerized Web Applications in minutes using AWS App Runner (Part 1)?<\/a> We have discussed the recently launched AWS service App Runner, its benefits, use cases, features, architecture, etc. Refer to the following image for a quick recap:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AWS App Runner makes it easier to deploy web applications and APIs to the cloud, regardless of the language they are created in, even for teams with no prior expertise with container deployment or infrastructure management. The service incorporates AWS operational and security best practices and automatically scales up or down on demand, with no need to worry about cold starts. App Runner can deploy your application by either connecting to a container registry or to your source code. In this blog, we will see how we can deploy a scalable and secure web application within minutes. We will explore the App Runner dashboard and look at its various features and benefits for the same. We will then create an App Runner service following a 4 step process and thereby deploying and accessing the application via a default link provided by the App Runner service or using a custom domain (if required). We will also look at how we can redeploy the changes on the web application if any changes are made in the code base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this hands-on, we will see how we can make use of the AWS App Runner service to deploy a scalable and secure web application within minutes. AWS App Runner makes it easier to deploy web applications and APIs to the cloud, regardless of the language they are created in, even for teams with no prior expertise with container deployment or infrastructure management. App Runner can deploy your application by either connecting to a container registry or to your source code. We will first create a new repo on our GitHub account and then connect to the source code via the AWS App Runner Console by authorizing access to AWS. We will then explore the AWS App Runner dashboard to have a look at its various features, benefits, use cases, etc. Then we will be creating an App Runner service and finally thereby following a 4 step process, we will connect to the GitHub repo and deploy the source code in the repo which can then be accessed using the default link. We will also look at how we can create custom domains for the application as well as how we can redeploy the application if certain code changes occur in the code base so that the changes are reflected on the application. Refer to the following diagram to understand the architecture of the application implementation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To implement this, we will do the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
