Deploying and Scaling Spring Boot Applications on AWS

Building a Spring Boot application is only the first step; bringing it to the cloud and ensuring it can handle real-world traffic is where the true engineering begins. This text-based course guides you through the entire lifecycle of deploying, scaling, and managing Spring Boot applications on AWS. You will transition from running applications on your local machine to hosting resilient, auto-scaling cloud deployments. By reading clear explanations, studying configured examples, and completing written exercises, you will master the core AWS services and deployment strategies required for modern production environments. What you'll learn: Understand foundational cloud concepts and Spring Boot deployment architectures; Package Spring Boot applications using Docker containers for consistent environments; Deploy containerized applications to AWS using Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Fargate; Configure auto-scaling policies to handle traffic spikes efficiently; Monitor application health and performance using modern observability tools and CloudWatch; Implement CI/CD concepts to automate your deployment pipeline. The course starts with essential terminology and packaging fundamentals before moving step-by-step through AWS infrastructure setup, container orchestration, scaling configurations, and production monitoring. This course is designed for beginner-to-intermediate backend developers and aspiring cloud engineers. No prior AWS experience is required, though a basic understanding of Spring Boot is helpful.
