Standard way to bringup a nodejs application

Question

Hello all,

I am super new to the AWS land and I want to learn by doing some pet projects. But the amount of choices that AWS offers seems daunting. Can someone give me some pointers on standard way to bring up a simple nodejs application running in AWS? I want to have reasonable latencies so lambdas are not what I am looking for.

Thanks

Answer

If you simply want to use Node.js, you can create an environment with Elastic Beanstalk.  
The following documents contain information on how to get started.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_nodejs.html

Also, if you want to tune it more to your liking, you should consider deploying your own Node.js application to a computing service such as EC2 or ECS.

Hi, you can run NodeJs in following ways:

* AWS Elastic Beanstalk: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/deploy-nodejs-web-app/
* AWS Lambda: serverside(https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/building-server-side-rendering-for-react-in-aws-lambda/) or typica event driven case(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-nodejs.html)
* AWS App Runner: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/dg/service-source-code-nodejs.html
* AWS ECS/Fargate: https://ecsworkshop.com/nodejs/backend/
* AWS Lightsail: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-quick-start-guide-nodejs

Hope it helps ;)
