AWS App Runner

AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that makes it easy to build, deploy, and run containerized web applications and APIs at scale. It automatically builds and deploys applications from container images or source code, load balances traffic with encryption, and scales to meet traffic needs without requiring infrastructure management. App Runner integrates with ECR, GitHub, Bitbucket, VPC, IAM, and CloudWatch for complete application delivery.
