As a Web Developer, setting up local development environments can be tiresome. Using infrastructures such as Docker and Kubernetes gives a developer an upper hand to quickly set up and deploy applications. This guide uses Docker to deploy a React app to Kubernetes.

Have you ever spent hours debugging a piece of code only to realize that the real problem was how it was structured in the first place? Or found yourself frustrated with a codebase that’s nearly impossible to understand or ready to collapse with a single change? We’ve all been there, and it’s not a fun place to be. But fear not! There’s a set of guiding principles that can help us write cleaner, more maintainable, and more robust code.

This article will cover how to build and deploy a Node.js + Express.js API connected to AWS services such as S3, DynamoDB, and RDS. We’ll also push this application into DockerHub and Pull it back to the AWS EC2 instance using Github Actions, integrated with a GitHub self-hosted runner. All AWS resources will be initiated with Terraform for a seamless, one-click setup and deployment process. Finally, we’ll cover how to include Swagger Docs for API documentation.
