description AWS App Runner Overview

AWS App Runner is a fully managed compute service provided by Amazon Web Services that automatically builds, deploys, and scales containerized web applications and APIs. Developers can deploy directly from source code or a pre-built container image without managing the underlying infrastructure or servers. The service is intended for teams looking to streamline their deployment pipelines and reduce the operational overhead of container orchestration.

help AWS App Runner FAQ

How does AWS App Runner deploy a web application?

AWS App Runner can deploy from source code or from a container image. It then handles deployment, load balancing, health monitoring, and automatic scaling for the web application or API.

Does AWS App Runner automatically scale containers?

App Runner automatically adjusts service capacity according to incoming demand within the service settings. AWS manages the underlying compute instances, so developers do not need to operate an Amazon EC2 cluster for the application.

Can AWS App Runner deploy directly from a source repository?

Yes, App Runner can connect a service to source code and build a deployable container from it. Automatic deployments can be enabled so changes to the selected source branch trigger a new build and deployment.

How is AWS App Runner billed?

App Runner billing includes the compute and memory used by the running service, and source-code deployments can also incur a build fee. AWS App Runner is different from Amazon ECS because it hides most cluster and service infrastructure management behind a simpler application service.
