    • In this post, you use App Runner to deploy a REST API in minutes using Express.js and Fauna, the data API for modern applications. You create a database in Fauna and securely store an access key in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. You clone an Express.js application that performs CRUD operations on your data in Fauna. Finally, you launch an App Runner service that builds, deploys, and runs your code.

    This is the public roadmap for AWS App Runner.

    • AWS App Runner is a new service from AWS that allows you to run and scale web applications in only a few clicks. App Runner can build and deploy containers for you directly from your GitHub repo, freeing you from Dockerfile creation and management. The service also hides the complexity of VPC configuration. In short, with App Runner, you write it, AWS runs it.
