What is end-to-end deployment with Terraform AWS Nginx?

It's provisioning infra (Terraform on AWS EC2), app setup (Node, MySQL), proxy (Nginx), plus fixes for prod realities—like a full pipeline from zero to live URL.

How do I deploy my app like EpicBook on AWS?

Start with Terraform for EC2/network, install deps via SSH (Git, NVM/Node, MySQL), clone repo, npm install, config DB, Nginx reverse proxy to your port. Test ruthlessly.

Does Terraform replace manual AWS setup for beginners?

Yes—for repeatability. Steeper curve upfront, but `plan/apply` prevents misconfigs. Pair with AWS free tier; destroy often.
