[APPROACH] Execution model

##### Assessment & Design

Defined ECS architecture, networking, and CI/CD workflows.

##### Containerization

Built and versioned Docker images and stored them in Amazon ECR.

##### Backend Deployment

Deployed ECS services on Fargate with automated rollouts.

##### Frontend Deployment

Built and published static assets to Amazon S3 using GitHub Actions.

##### Go-Live & Validation

Validated routing, deployments, and service stability in production.

[RESULTS] Delivered scope

The account records containerized backend deployment on Fargate, static frontend delivery through S3, versioned container images and GitHub Actions release automation. A VM-to-Fargate savings comparison would require the workload, sizing, utilization and operating-cost baseline. Deployment continuity also requires application-level validation; it is not guaranteed by selecting ECS rolling updates.

[TOOLS] Technology Stack

Amazon ECS on Fargate

Amazon ECR

GitHub Actions (OIDC-based authentication)

Amazon S3

Amazon Route 53

AWS IAM

[Operational notes] Platform and release ownership

Fargate removes EC2 instance management but retains application, release and dependency ownership. OIDC-based authentication replaces static CI/CD credentials with short-lived tokens; the authority of those tokens still depends on the IAM trust policy and role permissions assigned to the pipeline. Health checks and rolling updates reduce the risk of a bad release reaching all tasks, but they do not replace application-level validation before promotion. A scanned image does not guarantee a working application.

[APPLICABILITY] Where this pattern applies

Enabled rapid product launch with minimal operational overhead.

Reduced deployment cycles from manual to fully automated.

Improved platform reliability and release confidence.

Delivered a scalable foundation for future SaaS growth.

Lowered long-term operational costs through managed services.
