When managing the architecture of our system, we often deal with sensitive data. It’s our job to ensure they don’t fall into the wrong hands. An excellent example of confidential information is the database password and the Json Web Token secret key. In this article, we explore how we can use the AWS Secrets Manager […]
In the latest articles, we deployed our NestJS application using AWS. However, we’ve been exclusively using the HTTP protocol so far. You probably noticed that almost every website nowadays uses HTTPS. And no wonder, because it solves a bunch of problems and makes surfing the internet more secure. In this article, we prepare our architecture […]
In recent articles, we’ve learned how to deploy our NestJS application with Docker and AWS. In addition, we’ve managed to deploy multiple instances of our API using a load balancer. Still, it was always a fixed number of instances. In this article, we learn how to adapt to traffic by changing the number of deployed […]
In one of the previous parts of this series, we learned how to use the Elastic Container Service to deploy multiple instances of our application. With this architecture, we maintain the target group, where each target is a single instance of our application. Thanks to that, the load balancer can route a particular API request to […]
In this series, we’ve learned how to use the logger built into NestJS. In this article, we learn how to manage the logs our NestJS application produces using Amazon CloudWatch. In this article, we assume you’re familiar with deploying NestJS applications using Amazon Elastic Constainer Service. If you want to know more about this topic, […]
In the last two parts of this series, we’ve explained the details of manually deploying our NestJS application with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. It’s a great idea to go through the above process by hand to understand it fully. The next step is automating it by implementing Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. In this article, […]
In the previous article, we learned how to use the Elastic Container Service (ECS) to deploy a single instance of our application. This time, we take a step further and deploy multiple instances with a load balancer distributing the traffic. Our application might perform as expected on most days. However, there are times, such as […]
In the last two parts of this series, we’ve dockerized our NestJS application. The next step is to learn how to deploy it. In this article, we push our Docker image to AWS and deploy it using the Elastic Container Service (ECS). Pushing our Docker image to AWS So far, we’ve built our Docker image locally. […]
The serverless approach to building applications is getting more and more popular. It might be appealing to write and deploy code without worrying about the infrastructure underneath. Serverless computing still involves servers. The provider takes care of their maintenance entirely, though. We write event-driven functions that contain business logic. The provider charges us solely based […]

There is quite a bit more to Amazon S3 than storing public files. In this article, we look into how we can manage private files. To do so, we learn how to set up a proper private Amazon S3 bucket and how to upload and access files. We use streams and generate presigned URLs with […]
