A simple Spring Boot application that I am using to compare the easy of deployment to GCP and AWS.
I wanted an application that would represent an actual application that would be deployed as a monolith with a multi-page front end and authentication and authorization.
Local development uses H2 for a data store. AWS and GCP deployments can use the native relational store.
./gradlew jib --image <userid>.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com/personal:quicknotesYou must use JDK 8 to compile this project. AWS ElasticBeanstalk did not like the JDK 11 classfile format.
Add an environment variable for SERVER_PORT=5000. That is the default port for EB deployments so we need to let Spring know.
There is a buildspec.yml that you can use with CodeBuild to produce a zip that EB can deploy. I have also created a CodePipeline with this that monitors my GitHub repository and automatically deploys the latest build to my public EB instance.
The application runs under Elastic Container Service without additional configuration. I used Farscape to avoid creating an EC2 cluster by hand.
