Cloud Deployment (AWS/Heroku)
Deploy your containerized Node.js application to popular cloud platforms like AWS or Heroku.
Cloud Deployment Introduction
Welcome! After building your Node.js application and containerizing it with Docker, the next crucial step is to deploy it to the cloud.
Cloud deployment makes your application accessible to users worldwide. It handles infrastructure, scaling, and reliability, allowing you to focus on development.
PaaS vs. IaaS Explained
When deploying to the cloud, you'll often encounter Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
- PaaS (e.g., Heroku): Provides a complete platform to run your code without managing servers. Simpler, faster deployment.
- IaaS (e.g., AWS EC2): Gives you virtual servers and networks, offering more control but requiring more setup and management.
