Deploying a Production ready React-Express app on AWS

In this tutorial, I will be going over to how to deploy a Javascript app from start to finish using AWS and EC2. Recently, my partner Tu and I launched our app AlgoAcademy (a resource for reviewing algorithms and data structures) and we wanted to share with other developers some of the lessons we learned along the way.

Following this tutorial, you will have an application that has:

• A React frontend, Express backend
• An AWS EC2 server configured to host your application
• SSL-certification with Certbot
• A custom domain name

L1 cache reference                           0.5 ns
Branch mispredict                            5   ns
L2 cache reference                           7   ns                      14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock                           25   ns
Main memory reference                      100   ns                      20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy             3,000   ns        3 us
Send 1K bytes over 1 Gbps network       10,000   ns       10 us
Read 4K randomly from SSD*             150,000   ns      150 us          ~1GB/sec SSD
