If you’re seeking a faster and more efficient way to release app updates, AWS App Runner is the secret weapon you’ve been missing. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the seamless process of leveraging AWS App Runner and Docker to achieve rapid deployment and ensure your app is always up to date.

If you haven’t heard about AWS App Runner, you can learn more about it in my recent blog post.

Selecting a Source

When setting up your new App Runner service, it’s crucial to choose the right repository type.

Although App Runner supports pulling images from Amazon Elastic Container Registry, it currently doesn’t integrate with Dockerhub, GitHub Registry, or GitLab Container Registry.

However, if you prefer deploying directly from a source code repository, you can easily utilize public and private GitHub repositories by installing the AWS Connector for GitHub app.

With this app in place, you can select the relevant repository and branch for deployment.

The Future of Application Deployment: Exploring AWS App Runner

Jan1 Reply

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has consistently been at the forefront of cloud computing technology, delivering game-changing services that help developers, system administrators, and companies simplify and accelerate application deployment. However, for a long time, AWS had no simple service to just launch a containerized app. Of course, there’s spinning up an EKS cluster, and launching a Fargate task but with AWS App Runner, this becomes even easier. It is the path to automating and simplifying application deployment.

What is AWS App Runner?

Launched in 2021, AWS App Runner is a fully managed service designed to streamline the process of deploying containerized applications and APIs, no matter the scale. The primary goal of this service is to abstract the intricate, often time-consuming orchestration and infrastructure management tasks away from developers, letting them focus more on coding and less on deployment logistics.

Warp: A Compelling Alternative to iTerm2

Warp: A Compelling Alternative to iTerm2

Jan2 Replies

In the world of terminal emulators, two names stand out: Warp and iTerm2. Both are powerful tools that developers rely on for their needs. However, the recent emergence of Warp has sparked interest in the developer community due to its unique features and capabilities. I’ve been using iTerm2 for many years but made the change early this month. So what made me change my mind regarding iTerm2?

Modern Editing Features

One of the standout features of Warp is its modern editing capabilities. Unlike traditional terminals like iTerm2, Warp allows you to click anywhere on your current command line to insert your cursor at that spot. This feature might seem trivial, but it proved to be super useful to me.

GUI for Tab Completion

Tab completion is a common feature in terminal emulators, but Warp takes it a step further by providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for tab completion. This means that when you hit tab in Warp, you can see previous commands you’ve run and suggestions based on common commands related to what you’ve typed. This feature makes command completion more intuitive, who really wants to remember all their git commands?
