FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a Node.js Express Prisma backend to AWS EC2 with GitHub Actions CI/CD?▼

AWS EC2 deployment of a Node.js backend uses phase-driven guidance across IAM, SSH, EC2 provisioning, Nginx/SSL, PM2, and GitHub Actions to establish reproducible staging and production environments.

What is the best way to migrate from Render to AWS EC2 with zero downtime?▼

Migrating from Render to AWS EC2 involves a migration and go-live playbook enforcing safe cutovers, utilizing reusable templates for bootstrap scripts and PM2 ecosystem configurations to ensure zero-downtime.

Do I need Nginx and Certbot to host a Node.js app on EC2?▼

Hosting a Node.js app on EC2 requires Nginx and Certbot to configure the domain, manage reverse proxying, and provision SSL certificates during the server bootstrap phase.

How do I set up staging and production environments for a MySQL backend on AWS EC2?▼

Setting up staging and production environments for a MySQL backend on EC2 requires launching two instances, completing bootstrap setup, and configuring Nginx, SSL, and PM2 for process management.

Can I use GitHub Actions to automate Node.js deployment to EC2 across multiple environments?▼

Automating Node.js deployment to EC2 across multiple environments uses GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows to enforce an end-to-end deployment process including database migrations and safe go-live cutovers.

What are the limitations of manual EC2 deployment compared to an automated CI/CD workflow?▼

Manual EC2 deployment risks errors and downtime, whereas an automated CI/CD workflow using GitHub Actions, PM2, and Nginx ensures reproducibility, safe cutovers, and phase-driven migration steps.
