Unleash the Power of Vue 3 and Grails 4 on AWS: A Seamless Deployment Guide

Deploying a Vue 3 and Grails 4 application on AWS may seem intimidating for beginners, but with the right steps and tools, it can be a straightforward process. Here's a simple guide to help you get started:

Step 1: Set up your AWS account To deploy your application on AWS, you will need to have an AWS account. You can sign up for a free account if you don't have one already. Once you have an account, log in to the AWS Management Console. Step 2: Configure your AWS environment To deploy your application, you will need to set up your AWS environment. This includes creating an IAM (Identity and Access Management) user with the necessary permissions and creating an Elastic Beanstalk application. Step 3: Build your Vue 3 and Grails 4 application Before you can deploy your application, you need to have a built version of it. So make sure you have built your Vue 3 frontend and Grails 4 backend before proceeding to the next step. Step 4: Create an Elastic Beanstalk environment Elastic Beanstalk is a service provided by AWS that makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale your application. To create an environment, go to the Elastic Beanstalk console and click on "Create New Application." Give your application a name and click "Create." Step 5: Configure the environment Next, you need to configure your environment by selecting the platform, language, and uploading your application code. Make sure to choose "Grails" as the platform and upload your frontend and backend application code. Step 6: Configure the load balancer To access your application from the internet, you will need to configure a load balancer. Go to the "Configuration" tab and find the load balancer section. Click on the "Modify" button and choose the "Application Load Balancer" option.

Step 7: Configure the database If your application requires a database, you can use AWS RDS (Relational Database Service). Go to the "Configuration" tab and click on the "Modify" button under the "Database" section. Follow the prompts to create a new database instance or connect to an existing one. Step 8: Deploy your application Once you have configured your environment, you can deploy your application by clicking on the "Deploy" button. This will upload your application code and start the deployment process. Step 9: Test your application Once the deployment is complete, you can test your application by visiting the URL provided by Elastic Beanstalk. If everything went well, you should see your Vue 3 frontend and Grails 4 backend application running on AWS. Step 10: Set up a custom domain If you want to use a custom domain for your application, you can do so by configuring a DNS record. Follow the instructions provided by AWS to set up a custom domain for your application. Congratulations, you have successfully deployed your Vue 3 and Grails 4 application on AWS! Remember to monitor your application and make any necessary adjustments as needed.
