AWS App Runner alternatives?

0

Hi, everyone!

Im want to run my app on cloud (thinking about AWS) but dont have any DevOps experience to manage the whole thing by myself.

During my research I`ve stumbled upon AWS App Runner which seems can do the trick for me, but maybe there are other tools and clouds to do so.

I want to focus on the app rather than cloud management, I use docker for the app, but could theoretically switch to the Kubernetes as it seems to be way more popular.

Would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions, maybe some drawbacks of AWS App Runner I should know before start using it?

AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that makes it easy to deploy and run containerized applications in the cloud. It allows you to build, test, and deploy your applications quickly and easily, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.

One of the main benefits of using AWS App Runner is that it automates many of the tasks involved in deploying and scaling containerized applications, such as provisioning and configuring infrastructure, building and pushing container images, and updating and monitoring running services. This can save you a lot of time and effort, and allow you to focus on developing your application.

AWS App Runner also integrates well with other AWS services, such as Amazon ECR and Amazon ECS, which can make it easy to manage and scale your application.

Another option you can consider is using Kubernetes, which is a popular open-source container orchestration system. Kubernetes can run on various cloud platforms, including AWS, GCP, and Azure. Kubernetes allows you to easily deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications, and has a large and active community that can provide support and resources. However, it has steeper learning curve than AWS App Runner and might require more DevOps experience to manage it.

In summary, if you're looking for a fully managed service to deploy and run containerized applications in the cloud, and you're OK with only using AWS, AWS App Runner may be a good choice for you. If you're looking for multi-cloud or more flexibility and control, you may want to consider using Kubernetes.

Thank you for detailed answer, Robert!

I think that I might have found the tool for the job, especially since I use docker: https://wsp-aws.io/

looks like it does what I need i think, but still in beta by the looks of it. Have you heard of it, what do you think?
