MERN App Deployment on AWS

I’ve finished building a MERN-stack web application and now need it running smoothly in the AWS cloud. I don’t have any of the cloud pieces in place yet, so I’m looking for someone who can handle the full environment setup—from account configuration right through to production release.

Here’s what I expect:

• Containerise the existing React front-end and Node/Express back-end, then push the images to ECR.
• Create an ECS (Elastic Container Service) cluster with tasks and services that scale cleanly.
• Wire up networking: VPC, subnets, security groups, an application load balancer and HTTPS via ACM.
• Automate deployment (GitHub Actions or similar) so each commit flows through to ECS with zero-downtime.
• Store environment variables securely in Parameter Store or Secrets Manager.
• Provide a concise hand-over document so I can replicate the workflow for future updates.

It’s a straightforward web application—no microservices yet—so a single ECS service per container is fine, but I’m open to your best-practice suggestions. Please let me know your anticipated timeline, any AWS tooling you prefer, and a brief note on past MERN-on-ECS launches you’ve done.
