This is the same process we will be using to deploy the API in my upcoming course "Building APIs With Node.js, Express & MongoDB" where we build an extensive API for a bootcamp directory app. Keep an eye out for it in the next month. Then I will be doing a Vue course which will include a frontend UI.

You've just made my day, Brad... I was learning all this stuff on my own in a fragmented way, and then a video with all this stuff together...
Thanks a million!

A year and a half later and this is still pure gold, never disappointed in your content! Keep up the great work.

You're an absolute legend. I needed several days to figure this out

[abulfazlhaidary]

I was waiting for this for a long time, thank you.

Hi Brad! You are a freaking awesome teacher! I was going through so much documentation on nginx and in the end it is your solution that is the absolutely best first step. I learned the basic of web development from you 6 years ago and now I work in a big company with industrial code complexity. And still you are my first choice when I encounter something new. Your steady clear voice and clear steps. You are just awesome! You always find the necessities without simplifying it into something no useful. Amazing!

For a large scale app on AWS here is what i do:
1. All static js/css/img go to a s3 bucket.
2. My nodejs app goes to ec2 with pm2 for clustering.
3. An application load balancer is in front of ec2.
4. All of this is behind cloudfront. My dns points to cloudfront. Cloudfront looks at url and decides if req must go to s3 or elb. All s3 requests are cached by cloudfront. No caching for elb requests
5. I use amazon certificate mgr for free ssl certificate that terminates at cloudfront
This is the most scalable deployment arch that i could do on aws. No nginx to manage. All pieces except your node js code is managed by aws.
I hope folks looking at aws get some ideas from this

Thanks for all your tutorials and hard work that goes into them!

This is exactly what I needed for work this week...thank you a lot, Brad!

i literally spent a week trying to follow other guides without success, but then you freaking SAVED ME with this. GOOD GOD THANK YOU

[rizibizi]

You are the king ! I love you !! A normal and logical, clear tutorial on setting up NGINX from start to finish . You also documented it in text.

This deserves so many more views. Thank you so much

[ststeve]

This is the only chanel I run to when I want a straightforward and without nonsense video. To be frank Mr Brad is fantastic!! Wish I had a teacher like this in my high school days..

[krizheijnen]

This was incredibly helpful... I was struggling with it for hours until i found this video. It appeared that i didn't configure well the firewall, but this video really made it really clear.
Thanks (again), Brad!

[mykalimba]

Wow, this is the easiest Let's Encrypt SSL tutorial that I've ever seen. Other ones I've seen are much more complicated. Amazing!

[causecaos]

This is just what I was looking for, I struggled to figure out the best way to setup my nodejs server with SSL, this is awesome, thanks dude

[chailandau]

Thank you for the great tutorial! This really helped me out. If people are trying to install on Ubuntu 20.0.4, the command for certbot is: sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx

[runningthenorth-west]

Honestly, these tutorials are the only ones that make any sense. Thank you, Mr. Traversy. These videos are lifesaving.

[johnthompson]

Unbelievably useful tutorial Brad. I could have struggled for weeks with this instead of only an hour or two. Many thanks!
