Two things that would make the video longer, but more "production-ready": 13:02 Maybe a better way would be to use secrets manager to store a connection string (I assume it contains the db password)? And is there an easy CI/CD option from the usual hosted services? Would be nice promo for AWS.

I have a couple of questions regarding my setup:
1-If I have an existing database in RDS before creating the Elastic Beanstalk environment, do I only need to get the endpoint and add it to the environment properties without needing Elastic Beanstalk to create an RDS database?
2-Why does the default domain name not open on other sources like Android or iOS devices, but it opens on the desktop where it was created? Since I am developing a Flutter app and handling the backend, this issue means that when we request API services from the Flutter app, the domain does not respond. How can I fix this and ensure the domain opens on all devices?

I am yet to see a video by Milan which wasn't upload a few hours or a day after someone uploaded a video with the same subject.

Do you have plan to make video on event sourcing pattern ? I found it most complex pattern .

Great video. Haven't user Elastic Beanstalk before

Have you ever deployed a .net app to AWS Amplify? Not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but it seems like a huge pain. I've gotten it to deploy but the site will never load (just says 404). Would love to see how you deploy to Amplify if you've ever done it.

Thanks for this helpful tutorial, Milan 👍🏻🙏

I also watched your AWS lambda deployment video and my question is what would be the considerations whether to choose AWS lambda or Elastic Beanstalk?

Thanks!

Thanks for the video youre amazing. I have a doubt. I followed all the steps by one by one. I deployed correctly my application. I'm getting green health on mi environment elastic console. But when i click on the domain given im getting status code 404 in all my request, even I can not see my swagger. but all works perfectly on my local environment. Any suggest that can you give me?

Also your input about what are the best way to serve static (pre-compressed) files in .net rather then on the fly every time. Further, the convert razor pages / MVC to static pages as data changes not frequently on some pages.
