Deploy a Multi-Container App on AWS ECS Fargate

🚀 What You'll Build

You will run a two-container app (Nginx frontend + Node.js backend) on your laptop first, then deploy it to AWS ECS Fargate behind an Application Load Balancer — learning exactly how containers find each other in both environments.

✅ Prerequisites

  • An AWS account (free tier is fine to start)
  • A GitHub account
  • A laptop running macOS, Windows, or Linux
  • No prior AWS or Docker experience required — we start from scratch
