Deploy your Docker app to AWS
Step-by-step deployment help for Docker apps on AWS. We fix Docker-specific deployment issues, configure AWS, and get your app live. From $19.
Docker issues we fix before deploying
Common Docker problems that affect AWS deployments.
Running as root user
Containers running processes as root, so a container breakout gives the attacker root access to the host system.
Secrets baked into image layers
API keys, database passwords, or .env files copied into the Docker image during build, permanently stored in image layers even if deleted later.
Bloated image size
Using full OS base images (ubuntu, node:latest) instead of slim or alpine variants, resulting in 1GB+ images that are slow to pull and deploy.
No multi-stage build
Build dependencies (compilers, dev packages) included in the production image, increasing size and attack surface.
AWS deployment issues we check for
Common AWS problems that break Docker apps in production.
IAM policies with wildcard permissions
AI-generated infrastructure code grants Action: '*' and Resource: '*' permissions, violating least-privilege principles and creating critical security exposure.
Security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0
Database and internal service security groups allow inbound traffic from any IP address, exposing RDS instances and backend services to the public internet.
S3 bucket policy allows public read
AI tools configure S3 buckets with public-read ACLs for convenience, inadvertently exposing private user data and application secrets.
Lambda cold starts degrading API performance
Infrequently called Lambda functions experience 3-10 second cold starts. AI-generated architectures don't configure provisioned concurrency or optimize bundle size.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Docker app to AWS?
We handle Docker deployments to AWS end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Docker project, then we configure AWS, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Docker issues affect AWS deployments?
Docker projects commonly have running as root user and secrets baked into image layers. On AWS, these combine with iam policies with wildcard permissions and security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Docker project to AWS?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Docker applications to AWS. We audit your codebase for Docker-specific issues, configure AWS correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Docker deployment to AWS cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all AWS deployment blockers in your Docker project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
