About This Architecture

Production-grade full-stack deployment architecture combines NestJS API and NextJS UI in Docker containers on EC2 t3.medium behind Application Load Balancer. Traffic flows from Route 53 through CloudFront CDN with WAF protection to ALB in public subnet, routing to Nginx reverse proxy serving containerized services in private subnet. EC2 connects to RDS PostgreSQL db.t3.micro for persistence while CodePipeline orchestrates CI/CD from Bitbucket through CodeBuild and CodeDeploy, pulling images from ECR. This architecture demonstrates AWS best practices for containerized workloads without Kubernetes overhead, balancing cost efficiency with production reliability for startups and mid-size teams.

How do I deploy a full-stack Docker application with NestJS and NextJS on AWS EC2 with load balancing and CI/CD?

Deploy NestJS API and NextJS UI as Docker containers on EC2 t3.medium in a private subnet behind an Application Load Balancer, connect to RDS PostgreSQL for data persistence, use CloudFront with WAF for CDN and security, and automate deployments with CodePipeline pulling from Bitbucket through CodeBuild to ECR and CodeDeploy.
