This repository provides a simple guide and example code for deploying a Dockerized Go server to AWS ECR & ECS. By leveraging AWS ECR & ECS, you can host your Go application with minimal infrastructure management and cost.

• Prerequisites
• Getting Started
• Configuration
• Workflow
• Run Go Server
• Deploying to AWS ECR
• Testing
• Clean-Up
• Contributing
• License

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed and set up:

• Go
• AWS CLI

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/swarajkumarsingh/aws-ecr-golang.git
cd aws-ecr-golang

go run main.go

Makefile - file contains all configs related to image deployment

deploy:
	aws ecr-public get-login-password --region us-east-1 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <aws_ecr_image_url>
	docker build -t test-name .
	docker tag test-name:latest <aws_ecr_image_url>/test-name:latest
	docker push <aws_ecr_image_url>/test-name:latest

• First we build our docker image
• Then we push it to AWS ECR
• Then setup AWS ECS cluster
• Create a task defining your OS, expose your port carefully
• Inside AWS ECS cluster create a service, and add your task with other configurations
• Create a Load-Balancer and set the values accordingly
• After everything succeeds, your Load-Balancer ARM url, will be url backend server url

Use serverless cli for deploying

make deploy

After you deploy, you will be given a url

curl <given-url>

- Head to your AWS console
- Search 'ECR'
- Delete the repository
- Search 'ECS'
- Delete the cluster & tasks
- Head to Load-Balancer
- Delete the load-balancer
- And all set :)
