Deploying & Scaling Spring Boot Applications

Course Overview

Course Description Take your Spring Boot skills to the next level by learning how to deploy, scale, and monitor real-world applications using tools like Docker, AWS ECS, and Spring Security. In this hands-on course, you'll apply essential DevOps practices—CI/CD, containerization, and observability—to move confidently from local development to production-ready deployment. In the first module, you’ll explore modern deployment workflows, external configuration, and container fundamentals. You’ll also understand how Docker integrates into Spring Boot development. The second module guides you through building efficient Docker containers, connecting Spring Boot apps to databases, and managing multi-service systems with Docker Compose. In the third module, you’ll deploy your application to AWS ECS, learning best practices for load balancing, IAM roles, and secrets management. The final module focuses on scaling with ECS, implementing secure authentication using Spring Security and OAuth2, and monitoring your application using Spring Boot Actuator and AWS CloudWatch. By the end, you will: -Build Docker containers for Spring Boot applications with environment configs -Deploy containerized apps to AWS ECS with Fargate and secure IAM roles -Apply CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions for Spring Boot apps This course is ideal for: -Java/Spring developers ready to move beyond local environments -Backend engineers aiming to master scalable, containerized deployments -DevOps-focused developers working with ECS and automation tools -Software engineers preparing for cloud-native and full-stack roles Let’s bridge the gap between development and deployment—build, ship, and scale your Spring Boot apps like a pro.
