Learn how to deploy microservices to Amazon ECS powered by Flask, React, and Docker!
In this course, you'll learn how to use AWS CodeBuild for continuous integration and delivery along with AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) for container orchestration in order to deploy a set of microservices powered by Python, Flask, and React.
In part 1, you'll learn how to manage Docker-based microservices on AWS via Elastic Container Service (ECS). You'll also wire up CodeBuild for building and testing Docker images along with Elastic Container Registry (ECR) for storing Docker images.
In part 2, we'll set up Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), configure Elastic Container Service (ECS), and use Terraform to manage a Fargate cluster on ECS.
This is not a beginner course. It's designed for the advanced-beginner -- someone with at least six months of web development experience. Before beginning, you should have some familiarity with the following topics. Refer to these resources for more info:

The Microservices with Docker, Flask, and React course bundle is the best course I've ever purchased! It teaches you how to design and build a microservices web application that can be deployed as a real production app. What really makes Michael's teaching unique is that after the basic guidelines, he pushes you to read and explore each tool, technology, and framework used in the course -- thus making you a better software engineer!
As a practicing anesthesiologist and a computer geek from way back, I've had a number of projects (without confidential data, of course) that I've been trying to get off the ground. But I kept going around in circles with Docker, Flask, and React. Michael's book is well written, clear and has given me a great base of knowledge and best practice in regards to really getting my projects done. Best of all, it's given me the confidence to just get on and get coding. Thanks!!
Great resource! If you want to get practical knowledge about microservices, implementing Flask and React and Dockerizing it -- I'm sure you will be satisfied.
Michael's course will not only help you to finally understand microservices, it will also provide you with a highly practical and useful sample application along with a very well structured eBook. Before taking this course I struggled to get a robust backend up and running. I didn't know whether I should go with a monolith or microservices architecture. This course not only gave me the necessary insights to make this decision it also helped me to code a production grade web application. It was fairly easy to build my own application with this course and use Michael's structure as a blueprint. In the end I was also able to brush up on Docker and learn how to containerize Flask microservices.
I've completed the Test-Driven Development with Python, Flask, and Docker and Deploying a Flask and React Microservice to AWS ECS courses. They both were a hugely valuable learning experience. As a self-taught programmer, having a professional explain in detail modern approaches to application architecture and deployment was incredibly valuable and has saved me countless hours of YouTube rabbit-holes.
