It would be great to have support for at least nodejs 14, since it is the LTS version and nodejs 12 is in maintenance status.
Nodejs 16 would be great too!

Ability for the automatic load balancer to support web sockets

Using Beanstalk and enabling web sockets support in application load balancer
I have a serious side-project habit - I often have dozens of side projects on the go at once.
As such, I really appreciate scale-to-zero services like Google Cloud Run and Vercel, where if my project isn't getting any traffic at all it costs me nothing (or just a few cents a month in storage costs) - then it spins up a server when a request comes in, with a cold-start delay of a few seconds before it starts serving traffic.
I would love it if App Runner could do this! It looks like at the moment you have to pay for a minimum of one running instance.

Onboard the service onto CloudFormation so that we can use AppRunner in our infrastructure templates.
Creation of CloudFormation resources, this would allow also CDK support down the line.

I would like to be able to attach an SQL database to my App Runner service from within the App Runner interface / YAML / API, and automatically gain private connectivity to this database from my service.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I could use Copilot for this, or I could use CDK - but those involve a lot of steep learning curves.
Additional context
When creating a microservice, the database should be encapsulated within that service - and not exist outside of it.

Perhaps this is related to #13 but it doesn't seems as though SSE events are supported yet?
I've deployed a simple application but at the moment the server attempts to send a message to the browser it triggers a The connection to https://{APPNAME}.awsapprunner.com/sse/ was interrupted while the page was loading. error.

Uncertain. I'd really like to be able to use SSE messages with App Runner applications but maybe just falling back to a plain-vanilla EC2 + ALB setup.

I seem to be unable to deploy a new image to App Runner from a private ECR repository.
I have automatic deployments enabled, I have also tried multiple manual deployments using the CLI.
I keep running into this scenario:
Event logs:
06-06-2021 08:59 PM Service status is set to RUNNING.
06-06-2021 08:59 PM Deployment failed. For details, see service logs.
06-06-2021 08:41 PM Successfully pulled image from ECR.
06-06-2021 08:39 PM Service status is set to OPERATION_IN_PROGRESS.

Deployment logs
06-06-2021 08:59 PM Failed to deploy your application image.
06-06-2021 08:39 PM Starting to pull your application image.
The current implementation of the logs is not helpful, the logs don't explain WHY the deployment failed. They mention to check the service logs but it is not clear what those are or where they can be found.

At our team, when a role is set to a custom path that we've defined, certain deny policies are automatically attached to act as "guard rails" for permissions. We'd like to set the AppRunner trust policies: build.apprunner.amazonaws.com & tasks.apprunner.amazonaws.com in custom paths so that these policies can follow our best practices.
We've tested the custom paths and were returned with the following error:

It seems a bit strange that we have to re-create DNS validation records for a certificate that we have already validated in the past.
It would be more convenient if we could just "select" an existing certificate (like how CloudFront does it).

Community Note

Since the introduction of GitHub Actions, it's become a popular low-friction way to build and deploy applications. The integrated build experience of App Runner is awesome, but for companies on GitHub taking full advantage of it's features, they'll like err to using GitHub's native CI/CD. It'd be awesome to introduce an action like the ECS one that consumes the apprunner.yml and handles the deployment (and optionally build) of app runner services. Big pluses would be rich statuses and integration with GitHub's native deployment status.

While Python and other multi-threaded runtimes can utilize 2GB to its full extent, Node (being CPU-bound due to its single threading) really can't unless you do heavy in-process caching. A normal Node-process will rarely use more than 100mb. This means Node-services on App Runner will be really expensive to scale horizontally, just like on Fargate.
Describe alternatives you've considered
512MB or at least 1GB memory options with a slightly lower price.

Most of my apps generate and persist various files. Being able to utilize EFS for “local” storage would make migrating to App Runner something to look at. Without EFS and VPC access, migrating from our current AWS fargate solution to take advantage of the CI/CD integrations with App Runner makes it a non starter

Customers can run services on App Runner and talk to other AWS services via a public endpoint. For instances, they can talk to Amazon DynamoDB, Aurora DB with public access. But customers may also want App Runner services to access resources such as RDS instances in a private VPC.
Community Note

It would be great if App Runner supported per-branch or per-PR preview environments for an application (similar to what Amplify Console or Heroku Review Apps offer). This would make it easy for developers to have a public endpoint to test and share changes that they're working on.
Support for #9 would help to do this in a seamless way and keep costs under control if there are many branches being worked on.

This FR is to allow end users to place the containers in their VPC but still a AWS managed feature like Faragte by doing so helps in containers to talk with RDS, EFS, or any AWS Services which uses customer managed vpc as a traffic flow mechanism

The ability to plug in App Configuration and Secrets from an external source (AWS SSM Parameter Store and AWS Secret Manager as MVP).

As an extension of #5, the ability to use the CDK to build and deploy an App Runner services like you can with Lambda Container CDK today.
Community Note
Tell us about your request
Currently, App Runner supports environment variables; it works but is not secure enough to configure credentials, Database passwords, and usernames.
Adding support for the AWS secret manager will help to access credentials from a safe location.
This is a request to support fetching build time secrets (such as a token to access private libraries) from AWS Secrets Manager and injecting them into the build time environment.
The main alternative I see is to somehow inject the credentials in the build command.
Another solution would be to leverage the instance profile's permissions and then to add some automation in the the Docker entrypoint to fetch the libraries at runtime. This is less ideal because it adds to the service startup time.
It would be nice if this were supported natively in App Runner.

AWS App Runner currently already has support for GitHub as a source code repository. However, given how popular GitLab has become I see there being a great benefit in providing GitLab support as well.

I would like to deploy services from a docker-compose file when using source control based deployments.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Use CodePipeline to push to ECR with docker compose build and create an App Runner registry based deployment for each one.
Additional context
I'm wondering how this would work since an App Runner service is meant to be just that, a single service. There would need to be a higher level to represent a project or something if we could deploy multiple services from a single source control based deployment.

It would be great to have the GRPC support in the app runner. Even simple RPC communication would be beneficial and streaming RPC can be added later.
Additional context
Currently if we have multiple lambda and we want to communicate among them then we use lambda invoke. With GRPC we should be able reduce the latency and internal service communication should be much faster.

The apprunner.yml file has a supported python and nodejs image for running from source, but by providing a Java installation you should be able to run Java code easily as well. This would be of great benefit to developers who have a hard time rebuilding image's and who want to run in the latest security updates.
Java is supported very well with github actions - you can install Java 8/11/17 (the LTS versions) - so having this as an apprunner base image would be very useful.
Hello,
I'm trying to deploy a nodejs app to apprunner using my github account.
A successful GitHub connection is made (was able to list all repositories and select the required one), but the build fails with the error: Failed to pull repository xxxxxx. Tried to deploy a public repository, it's done successfully.
Your customer care exec says that handshake is not completed but in the github connections page, the 'Complete Handshake' button is not active.
Waiting for a fix.
Thank you!

I already spoke to your customer care. Just opening an issue here for more visibility.

I'd like you to add support for automatic execution of CDK projects via App Runner, to enable App Runner to be a CDK CI tool, as well as do App Runner-y type things.
The reason is that I don't just want to run some code in App Runner, I want to be able to create the DynamoDB tables, EventBrige buses, CloudFront distributions and Lambda functions etc. that my app uses, and be able to create roles for things.
With a Serverless Framework or SAM project, I can add CloudFormation Resources into the YAML, and they get created, but I don't want to write any CloudFormation YAML because it doesn't have great developer tooling like autocomplete by default, and it's verbose compared to CDK.
Instead, I'd like to create a CDK project in any CDK language (TypeScript, Go etc.), push it to Github, and App Runner will execute the deployment for me, automatically without extra configuration. For example, if app runner sees a /cdk directory, it just looks at that instead, and doesn't look for (or require) the apprunner.yaml file. That way, I can use the CDK stuff requested in #7 and I don't have to write an apprunner.yaml file at all.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
I considered bootstrapping a CDK deploy with the CDK pipeline stuff.
