Building a CI/CD Pipeline with GitHub Actions and Container Registries

I recently built a complete CI/CD pipeline for my Flask job application tracking app. Like my Hugo blog setup, I struggled to find a single source covering everything I needed. I found myself cobbling together multiple YouTube videos, tutorials, and AWS and GitHub Actions documentation just to get a working pipeline. There’s a lot of moving parts here, so I decided to split this into a two-part series.

Deploying to AWS ECS: From Container Registry to Production

In Part 1, I built a pipeline that automatically tests my Flask app and pushes containers to both GHCR and ECR. I’m going to deploy those containers somewhere that people can use them. I’m going to use AWS ECS to make my app publicly accessible. (This won’t be accessible to the public, I’ll be spinning this down after the demo to avoid burning through my AWS credits and racking up costs.)
