Containerising a FastAPI App with Docker for AWS Deployment - Part 4

Improved deployment workflows (CI/CD ready) Docker enables modern deployment pipelines: Build once Test the image Deploy the same artefact to staging and production This reduces risk and ensures that what you tested is exactly what users see. In AWS, this pairs well with: ECR (image storage) ECS deployments automated pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions)
