apodobnik··on Ask HN: What's your AWS deployment workflow?
I recommend that you use Route53 for DNS management.

If you're interested in running the application with Docker, Fargate can be a good option. You can also run the frontend on CloudFront.

For Redis and Postgres, you should consider RDS and ElastiCache which are managed services.

I would avoid using Kubernetes because it's probably too complex for what you're trying to do.

apodobnik··on Ask HN: What technical books are you reading?
Designing Data-Intensive Applications is fantastic.
