What do you think of App Runner? Love or hate? Tell me why.

[@manikandani5201]

Can you tell me how app runner service can access rds db for backend operations?

[@ethioclicks6609]

After I able to run my service using App Runner and try to connect it with route53 I stuck.It is a bit difficult to mp my domain to the service deployed with app runner. So I would say I am in middle.

[@bmfitzgerald3]

We have witnessed the future of application development. Just got a simple app launched with autoscaling and automated deployments done in record time and zero headaches. Such a game changer. Thanks for the vid.

[@ravinderreddykothabad2299]

This video deserves more likes and views, maybe the Video title needs to change like Auto Scaling / CI-CD with App Runner.

[@shanmukhasarathkondiparthi8155]

Thanks for the Intro, Be A Better Dev

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome!

[@Anitha.D]

Thanks a lot for excellent explanation

[@_imcoder]

Idk if i love App runner or not. But love you content for sure. ❤

[@sumanreddy4165]

Thank you. Can you please make a video on connecting ecs fargate container using public key

[@andriys5772]

Thank you very much!

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome Andriy!

[@milesmatic2872]

great video on aws!

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks Gilbert!

[@gauravgupta5989]

Service is very cool but lot of features could be added in feature which will make it coolest. But it's bit costly service wise. The way you explained is really appreciating. Thankyou

[@BeABetterDev]

Hey Gaurav, completely agree I think future additions will make this a very useful service. I'm already contemplating using it for some personal projects. Thanks for the kind comments and support! Daniel

[@vildmedpap]

Hey Daniel, thanks for the walk-through! I have a question about the health check. If we set the interval between checks to, say, 10 seconds, doesn't that mean our application will never scale down to the "provisioned state" and will always use some vCPUs, thereby costing us more money? Or does AWS differentiate between actual traffic and the "synthetic" traffic sent to health checks?

[@anibaldk]

8:02 - Pricing (for those interested in costs)

[@rickharold7884]

Cool. Thx

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome Rick!

[@ballonura]

API Gateway to App Runner is possible?

[@quicktechbytes55]

I guess provisioned pricing makes sense as its mapped to storage.

[@kemaruproduction]

How one does solve the rate limiting for App Runner? If it just publicly stays there in a standalone manner, then someone with a multicore computer can flood the APP with curl http requests triggering unintended/unwanted scaling up to the scaling limits you set for your AWS App Runner. Is there any expert present on this topic here? I might have further questions. This is the only think I don't get about App Runner.

[@ihenners_]

You can add WAF - Web application firewall which is a AWS service to handle such things

[@anirbandutta1371]

This is similar to Digital Ocean Apps Platform service ..

[@darklord14]

The Apprunner could be competing with Netlify and alike. However it's more likely an Early Access at the moment. A few problems that I'm facing: - The same new service-role issue as in your video. - Environment variables can't be changed once the service deployed - Environment variables submitted thru aws cli / Terraform are ignored for some reason. - It can't reach the SSM parameter store even with proper IAM applied Hope they can be fixed soon...

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Dark, Great callouts and thanks for bringing this to others attention. There are certainly some limitations with App Runner and I aswell hope they will be addressed soon. I think this service can really compete with some of the other 'managed' app services out there! Cheers

[@ethioclicks6609]

How I connect app runner deployed app with route 53?

[@vincentnthomas1]

Cdk

[@madrag]

Good for quick test / demo as for now, nothing more. Lack so many features, but the direction of services is interesting.

[@vsakthivel85]

Can I use code commit for source code ? How can I use code commit

[@ihenners_]

There is option to link your github project

[@seanknowles9985]

Actually pissed as its been 1.5 years since AWS customers have been asking for the service to have a scale to zero option... AWS have always stated they're customer first but they are not listening.

[@komalthecoolk]

Your channel is very interesting! PS: Please lower the bass levels on your mic.

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks KK! I didn't realize the bass was too much. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers

[@everythinggoes850]

Thought AWS was finally giving us a GCP Cloud Run competitor but nope.

[@BeABetterDev]

It seems like a competitor to me at face value, but I don't know too much about Cloud Run. What makes it better than app runner?

[@AapKaRick]

@@BeABetterDev CloudRun scale to zero. also the pricing of cloudrun seems more friendly.

[@mitchell5332]

Cloud Run even goes down to 0.25VCPU and 128MB RAM, but App Runner is still stuck at 1VPCU and 2GB which is quite expensive IMHO.

[@idcarlos]

@@mitchell5332 In fact is more expensive than Fargate + Application Load Balancer, just to save a few minutes in the setup.

[@_Username__]

Very expensive

[@herambthuse5460]

Please look at the volume of recording in next video. Its very low here.

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@seanknowles9985]

Very annoying it can't scale to zero!!!!!!
