A real AWS server running your app 24/7. Exact commands. Verified at every step. You end up with a live URL anyone can visit.

Right now your app only exists on your machine. Close the laptop and it is gone. Nobody else can see it. This tool walks you through setting up a free AWS server, installing everything your app needs to run, uploading your code from GitHub, and configuring it to run as a background service that starts automatically and restarts if it ever crashes. When you are done, you have a public URL that works around the clock, independent of your machine.

Create a free AWS account and launch an Ubuntu server

You pick the free tier option, set up the security rules to allow web traffic, and get a public IP address.

Connect to your server through the browser using AWS's built-in terminal

No SSH keys to configure. Install Python, MySQL, Git, and the other tools your app needs.
