This article walks through deploying a Spring Boot API on AWS ECS using CDKTF.
CDKTF is a framework that allows you to write Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using general-purpose programming languages such as Python.
The architecture is divided into three layers: network, infrastructure, and service stack.
The article also shows how to containerize the Spring Boot application, create the necessary AWS resources using Python with CDKTF, and automate deployments with Github Actions.
While CDKTF offers many interesting features for infrastructure management, it can be a bit verbose at times.
This approach simplifies deploying containerized applications like a Spring Boot API on AWS ECS Fargate.
Using CDKTF's flexibility, combined with Terraform's robust capabilities, it's a great option for modern cloud deployments.
The article presents the steps to deploy a new service on AWS ECS Fargate and also includes a Github Actions workflow to automate the deployments.
The article also presents a sample code for the Spring Boot API which defines a simple REST API with three endpoints.
Test your deployment using a script provided in the article to confirm whether your ALB is ready to serve traffic.
