Summary
- This step-by-step guide teaches readers how to deploy Node.js applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2.
- AWS EC2 is a reliable, scalable, and flexible cloud platform for hosting Node.js apps.
- Before beginning the deployment process, readers should log into their AWS account and ensure they have a Node.js application ready for deployment.
- The guide walks readers through launching an AWS EC2 instance, connecting to the instance via SSH, and installing Node.js and Git.
- Readers are then instructed to clone their Node.js application repository and install dependencies before starting the application server.
- To ensure the Node.js app runs in the background after disconnecting from SSH, Process Manager (PM2) is configured.
- Finally, a reverse proxy setup with Nginx and some best practices are covered to secure and optimize the server and the application.
