How to Deploy a Node.js Application on AWS EC2 with Nginx and HTTPS
How to Deploy a Node.js Application on AWS EC2 with Nginx and HTTPS Deploying a Node.js application is straightforward during local development. You install Node.js, run your application, and access it through localhost. However, making that application available securely on the internet requires additional infrastructure and configuration. Amazon EC2 provides virtual servers where you can host your application.

In this practical tutorial, you will deploy a Node.js application on an Ubuntu EC2 instance, connect a custom domain, configure Nginx, enable HTTPS, and prepare the server for routine production maintenance. What you will build: A Node.js application running on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu server. PM2 process management with automatic startup after reboot. Nginx reverse proxy listening on public HTTP and HTTPS ...
