# EC2 web app template

This is a template I use to quickly set up Node.js-backed web apps on Amazon EC2

- Less than 15 minutes from start to finish

- Eligible/compatible with the ["AWS Free Usage Tier"](http://aws.amazon.com/free/)

- Ubuntu Linux

- High-performance Nginx HTTP server

  - Sensible default configuration (three flavors to chose from)

  - Automatically handles all static file requests

  - Delegates non-static requests to the Node.js web server

- Git-based deployment

- Init.d scripts

This template enables a very smooth, simple and scalable workflow

- When developing locally, the single command `bin/myapp-httpd.mv` runs your web server and takes care of serving static files

- When deploying changes (after a git push), `myapp-update restart` deploys changes and restarts services on your server

- Rolling back the server to an earlier version is a simple as `myapp-update restart v0.1.2`
