AWS CodeDeploy is a deployment service that automates application deployments to Amazon EC2 instances, on-premises instances, serverless Lambda functions, or Amazon ECS services. A compute platform is a platform on which CodeDeploy deploys an application. There are three compute platforms:

When we deploy code at Aha! we kick off a number of AWS CodeDeploy tasks running in parallel. Here's some code to simulate deployment:

AWS has a service named CodeDeploy for this. It does exactly what you describe.

AWS CodeDeploy is a fully managed deployment service that automates software deployments to various compute services, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), AWS Lambda, and your on-premises servers.

AWS's developer suite of products includes the AWS CodeDeploy offering, which can help developers deploy AWS Lambda functions and other compute-related services.

AWS? Dude, use CodeDeploy green blue with hooks.

AWS CodeDeploy is a service from Amazon Web Services that automates deployments to any instance. It works with any language, platform, or application. AWS CodeDeploy makes it easier to release new features quickly, avoid downtime during application deployment, and handle the complexity of updating applications. Users can also test and track deployments so they're not left guessing or digging through logs when something goes wrong. Our integration with AWS CodeDeploy can be integrated directly into your CI/CD pipeline to improve your AWS DevOps security.

If you have a BFF, that means you have a front-end. If you have a front-end, you gotta host it somewhere. Amplify is an AWS managed service built for hosting Single Page Applications. It abstracts away all the existing serverless tech you’d traditionally use on AWS into a single place, automating most of it. S3 static asses, cache busting on deploy, and it even abstracts it’s own build pipeline using CodeDeploy sourced right from your code repository. Like AppSync, it creates a CloudFront distribution for you, and optionally provides automatic Route53 creation if you want at full URL.

Once a fresh build passes via CodePipeline, CodeDeploy distributes the functioning package to each instance based on your predefined settings. This makes it easy to coordinate builds and upgrade or patch simultaneously. CodeDeploy is code-agnostic and includes typical old code with ease. Every deployment instance can be readily monitored using the AWS Management Console, and any mistakes or issues may be rolled back through the graphical user interface.

Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:

1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku

2) https://render.com

3) https://fly.io

4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk

above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

Elastic Beanstalk (EB) is a cloud deployment service provided by Amazon Web Services. It facilitates the deployment and scaling of web applications and services by automating the creation of individual infrastructure components, including EC2 instances, auto-scaling, ELBs, security groups, and other infrastructure components. Using the AWS Management Console and command-line interface, deployment with EB is quick and simple. Although EB automatically handles your application’s deployment, the developer retains complete control of the AWS resources that run the application and may access them at any time. This is important, and it is a top benefit of using this service.

This Terraform code snippet can be used to deploy an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment:

K8s isn't going to play well with your deployment pattern without some advanced cluster management. Honestly it seems like you would be better serviced with something like https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/ .

If your project is a bit more complicated using next.js or react.js or angular.js, you may find some free Platfrom-as-a-Service%20is%20a%20complete%20cloud%20environment,middleware%2C%20tools%2C%20and%20more.). I have seen some of my peers using free PaaS like Heroku, Vercel and I have no experience in using PaaS but I will recommend you to use PaaS from either of the three 1. Google Cloud's Google App Engine 2. Microsoft Azure's Azure App Service or 3. Amazon Web Service AWS Elastic BeanStalk

According to the official documentation, Elastic Beanstalk is a service that allows users to upload and deploy web applications in a simplified way.
