How to scale your app in minutes with container and AWS ECS
summary
Explains a concrete pipeline: Dockerize a Spring Boot app, push image to ECR repo in 20s, create an ECS cluster of EC2 container instances (cannot mix instance types), register task definitions with CPU/memory limits and use dynamic port mapping, attach an Application Load Balancer and target group, use health check via actuator, deploy a desired count (example 4) spread across two AZs, then scale EC2 with ASG and tasks via CloudWatch metrics; orchestration is free but EC2 is billed.
