Developers, AWS App Runner Might Not Always Be the Best Choice For Deploying Your Application

AWS App Runner, initially chosen for a non-profit's application deployment, proved unsuitable due to technical limitations. Despite offering benefits like auto-scaling and simplified management, it faced challenges with container setup, network settings, and operational control. The project ultimately switched to ECS with Fargate and RDS, providing better flexibility and cost-efficiency while meeting all requirements for under $50/month.
