AWS Remix container with Redis

Creates a hit counter app with Remix and Redis.

This deploys Remix 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: "3000/http" }],
  },
  dev: {
    command: "npm run 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 npx 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
npx sst dev

Now if you go to http://localhost:5173 you’ll see a counter update as you refresh the page.

Finally, you can deploy it by adding the Dockerfile that’s included in this example and running npx sst deploy --stage production.

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: "3000/http" }],
  },
  dev: {
    command: "npm run dev",
  },
});
