AWS Deno Redis

Creates a hit counter app with Deno and Redis.

This deploys Deno as a Fargate service to ECS and it’s linked to Redis.

sst.config.ts
new sst.aws.Service("MyService", {
  cluster,
  link: [redis],
  loadBalancer: {
    ports: [{ listen: "80/http", forward: "8000/http" }],
  },
  dev: {
    command: "deno task dev",
  },
});

Since our Redis cluster is in a VPC, we’ll need a tunnel to connect to it from our local machine.

Terminal window
sudo sst tunnel install

This needs sudo to create a network interface on your machine. You’ll only need to do this once on your machine.

To start your app locally run.

Terminal window
sst dev

Now if you go to http://localhost:8000 you’ll see a counter update as you refresh the page.

Finally, you can deploy it using sst deploy --stage production using a Dockerfile that’s included in the example.

sst.config.ts
const vpc = new sst.aws.Vpc("MyVpc", { bastion: true });
const redis = new sst.aws.Redis("MyRedis", { vpc });
const cluster = new sst.aws.Cluster("MyCluster", { vpc });


new sst.aws.Service("MyService", {
  cluster,
  link: [redis],
  loadBalancer: {
    ports: [{ listen: "80/http", forward: "8000/http" }],
  },
  dev: {
    command: "deno task dev",
  },
});
