I'm a professional React developer, and here's how I deploy React/Node.js Microservices to AWS using Terraform. #1

About Me: I've been a professional web developer for just over 10 years now. I'm currently the lead web development instructor at Better Coding Academy, and as part of what I do, I post videos on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/BetterCodingAcademy.

In a previous video series, I built a classifieds app with a microservices architecture using React, Node.js, GraphQL and Docker; you can find the dev.to article on that here.

Now, I'm deploying that application onto AWS using Terraform, and this is part 1 of that tutorial.

I hope you enjoy!

Happy coding!

Nice video!

One suggestion though, I think it would even be better if you slow down a little bit. I watched it with 0.75x and it was about right :)

I'm curious as to why you chose this particular architecture instead of going the serverless route that give you a lot of this functionality with a lot less code.

I specifically built this project with the architecture in mind. I would agree that this architecture is overkill for this project; however, I see this project as the minimum for an adequate demonstration of microservices-oriented architecture within AWS/Terraform.
