ECS ComposeX

The no-code CDK for docker-compose & AWS ECS

Deploy your services to AWS ECS from your docker-compose files in 3 steps

• Step 1. Install ECS Compose-x
• Step 2. Use your existing docker-compose files. Optionally, add Compose-X extensions.
• Step 3. Deploy to AWS via CloudFormation.

What does it do?

• Automatically deploy applications to AWS using existing docker-compose files

  • Deploys multiple applications to AWS in a single command
  • Creates AWS resources such as EC2 Instances, ECS Clusters and Containers
  • Automatically configures IAM roles and Networking for secure and reliable access

• Expand the definitions with AWS CloudFormation resources
• Allows to use existing resources in your AWS Account
• Can be extended with custom modules/hooks to customize the deployment process
• Automatically rolls back the application in case of errors, to previous version or to a stable state
