AWS App Runner
#34 · Level 2 · Scaling and resilience · ServerlessConcept
Section titled “Concept”With AWS App Runner, you give it code or a container and it becomes a running website or API. The source can be a container image stored in Amazon ECR, or source code stored in a code repository. App Runner builds it, deploys it, and scales it up and down based on user load. Each service gets an HTTPS address, and load balancing happens automatically behind the scenes. Containers run underneath, but you don’t have to manage any cluster or servers.
Simple example
Section titled “Simple example”Renting a ready-made stall in a food court — the stove, electricity and seating are all ready, and you just cook.
