EC2 Backend Deployer
When to Use
Use when you're:
- Setting up CI/CD for backend deployment to EC2
- Configuring Docker-based deployments
- Implementing automated deployment pipelines
- Deploying NestJS, Next.js, or Express backends
- Setting up container registries and image management
- Configuring secure EC2 access (Tailscale)
Quick Workflow
- Dockerfile: Multi-stage build (base → builder → production)
- Registry: GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io) recommended
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions with Tailscale for secure SSH
- Deploy: Docker Compose on EC2 with health checks
- Verify: Health endpoint + deployment verification
Key Components
Docker
- Multi-stage builds for smaller images
- Non-root user for security
- HEALTHCHECK for container orchestration
- BuildKit secrets for sensitive data
