Introduction to AWS App Runner

AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that simplifies the deployment of web applications and APIs, making it accessible even for users without infrastructure management knowledge. This service allows you to deploy applications at scale with minimal setup, providing automatic scaling, high availability, and integrated load balancing.

How It Works

You can begin by providing either your source code or a Docker container image. After configuring basic settings—such as desired vCPUs, memory allocation, autoscaling, and health checks—App Runner takes care of the rest. It automatically builds, deploys, and makes your application or API accessible through a URL, eliminating the need for deep technical knowledge about underlying infrastructure.

Key Features

• Automatic Scaling: App Runner adjusts capacity automatically based on demand.
• High Availability: Ensures your application remains operational at all times.
• Load Balancing: Automatically distributes incoming traffic for efficiency.
• Encryption: Ensures secure communication and data handling.
• VPC Access: Your applications can interact with databases, caching services, and other resources within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
