Django Deployer Application

Overview

This project is a Terraform-based deployer for a Django application on AWS. It automates the creation and configuration of AWS resources including S3, VPC, RDS, Route 53, ACM, ECR, CodeBuild, and Elastic Beanstalk.

Features

• Automated deployment of Django applications
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Secure storage of secrets using AWS Secrets Manager
• CI/CD using AWS CodeBuild
• High availability and scalability with Elastic Beanstalk
• Custom domain setup with Route 53 and SSL certificates via ACM

Prerequisites

• Terraform installed
• AWS CLI configured
• AWS Access key with the relevant permissions (I will add the relevant policy soon)
• Docker installed (Username and Password are required)
• A registered domain name (Route53 -> Registrar domain -> Buy domain)
