Next.js Deployment using ECS with Fargate

This post explores how to deploy a Next.js application to AWS using Elastic Container Service (ECS). It covers two approaches: deploying using the AWS Management Console and deploying using AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit). The guide begins by uploading a Docker image to AWS ECR (Elastic Container Registry), then moves on to defining a task definition, creating a cluster, and finally creating a task. The post also provides an overview of key ECS concepts such as auto-scaling, load balancing, and task definitions.
