Deploy to AWS App Runner

Buddy lets you deploy applications and APIs to the AWS App Runner service. The instructions below will help you configure a pipeline that will streamline the whole process to a simple push to Git.

Configure AWS App Runner deployment

Buddy offers two AWS App Runner actions:

• App Runner Deploy: lets you deploy containerized apps and APIs to Amazon Web Services
• App Runner Monitor: waits until the deployment has finished and checks the status of the deployed application

AWS actions

AWS App Runner Deploy

This action has four configuration tabs:

• Deploy – here you select the AWS integration and select the region and the ARN of the App Runner service
• Variables – here you can view your AWS integration variables, and create your own if required
• Conditions – here you configure the trigger conditions for which the action will run
• Options – here you define the action's name and behavior on failure and additional options

AWS App Runner Monitor

This action is very similar to App Runner Deploy. The 'Wait until ready' option lets you define the time after which the action will call a timeout if the application doesn't respond.
