Frequently asked questions

Have a question about running Rails on ECS? We have answers. If you don’t see your question here, please reach out to us.

What do I need to provide?
A GitHub token and temporary AWS credentials. We handle the rest and you can revoke them after deployment.
Where is my app image stored?
We push your Rails app image to Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry), which is fully integrated with ECS and ensures fast, secure deployments.
Can my app connect to other AWS services?
Yes, your Rails app runs inside a VPC and can securely talk to RDS, ElastiCache, S3, and more. IAM roles and security groups are configured for you.
How is scaling handled on ECS?
We configure your Rails app to scale automatically based on CPU and memory usage. ECS handles traffic spikes reliably, and you can fine-tune scaling policies if you need more control.
Can I tweak the infrastructure later?
Absolutely. Aeronaut provisions the AWS infrastructure in your account, sets up the build pipeline, and then we hand things off to you – extend or modify it as needed.
What does it cost?
A one-time fee covers infrastructure setup for one project. After that, you only pay for AWS usage—there’s no recurring Aeronaut bill unless you opt into ongoing support and maintenance.
Won’t LLMs do it for me?
Eventually, maybe — but you’ll still spend time tweaking and debugging. For a one-time, simple fee, you get infrastructure that already works.
Can I deploy other stuff?
Yes. The Professional plan also supports deploying static Next.js websites. For other frameworks or custom setups, our Business plan has you covered.
