Deploy FastAPI App onto AWS

Here’s a comprehensive guide for deploying a FastAPI application with Docker on AWS:This comprehensive guide covers multiple deployment strategies for FastAPI applications on AWS. Here are the key approaches:

For “production” applications:

  • ECS with Fargate for scalable, managed container orchestration
  • Application Load Balancer for high availability and SSL termination
  • ECR for private container registry
  • CloudWatch for monitoring and logging

For simple/low-traffic applications:

  • Lambda with Mangum for serverless deployment (cost-effective for sporadic traffic)
  • EC2 with Docker Compose for full control

Key considerations:

  • Use multi-stage builds to minimize image size
  • Implement proper health checks
  • Set up auto-scaling policies
  • Use infrastructure as code (Terraform/CloudFormation)
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments
