Deploy your Express app to AWS
Step-by-step deployment help for Express apps on AWS. We fix Express-specific deployment issues, configure AWS, and get your app live. From $19.
Express issues we fix before deploying
Common Express problems that affect AWS deployments.
No helmet middleware for security headers
Express apps without the helmet middleware are missing critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS, leaving the app vulnerable to common web attacks.
Missing input validation and sanitization
Request body, query params, and URL params used directly without validation. No express-validator, zod, or joi — enabling injection attacks and unexpected crashes.
Unstructured error handling
No global error-handling middleware. Errors either crash the process, leak stack traces to clients, or get silently swallowed with no logging.
CORS set to allow all origins
The cors() middleware called with no options, defaulting to allowing requests from any website — a security risk for APIs that handle user data.
AWS deployment issues we check for
Common AWS problems that break Express 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 Express app to AWS?
We handle Express deployments to AWS end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Express project, then we configure AWS, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Express issues affect AWS deployments?
Express projects commonly have no helmet middleware for security headers and missing input validation and sanitization. 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 Express project to AWS?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Express applications to AWS. We audit your codebase for Express-specific issues, configure AWS correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Express deployment to AWS cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all AWS deployment blockers in your Express project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
