How to deploy a Docker React application on AWS Fargate

This article is about the deployment of a simple react application on AWS Fargate. AWS Fargate runs containers without managing servers or clusters.

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design.(Source: AWS)
