AWS App Runner lets you run web applications (including APIs, backend web services, and websites) on AWS. App Runner doesn’t require infrastructure or container orchestration. You can go from an existing container image, container registry, source code repository, or CI/CD workflow to a containerized web application on AWS in minutes.
With App Runner, you don’t need to understand, provision, scale, or manage any computing, networking, or routing resources on AWS to deploy your code or container image without integration with your development workflow. With this service, you can run thousands of applications that scale automatically as traffic grows. AWS maintains and operates your infrastructure, so you get things like automated patching and encryption for security and compliance by AWS.
You can launch an AWS App Runner application on AWS by going to the App Runner console or using the AWS CLI. App Runner lets you choose a container image, connect your container registry, or connect your source code repository, then enter optional build and start commands. App Runner creates the service with a secure URL automatically.
