Hello before, I am Budi. I want to write about AWS App Runner and share it on my Dev.to. Before writing this tutorial, I explain **AWS App Runner**. [AWS App Runner](https://aws.amazon.com/apprunner) is AWS fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to quickly deploy containerized web applications and APIs, at scale and with no prior infrastructure experience required.

Let’s go, create and deploy web applications with AWS App Runner and GitHub. Go to AWS App Runner. AWS App Runner available on Compute services.

Waiting for deployment progress until finished. Operation status in progress. Also available default domain with AWS App Runner domain, service ARN and source from GitHub.

![Progress](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2466/1*5ruCr6HL-I9RcFb9jTKrEw.jpeg)

And deployment progress is succeeded, the status also running and the default domain can open and testing. Click the **default domain** link.
