AWS recently announced App Runner for General Availability. App Runner is a higher abstraction for building and deploying container based applications – the platform handles distributed systems development challenges such as load balancing, scaling on demand and monitoring application health. It also incorporates AWS operational, security and configuration best practices for customers without prior containers and infrastructure experience.

Rather than think about infrastucture, servers or scaling, users can focus on the application instead.

InfoQ caught up with Deepak Singh, VP of compute services at AWS, regarding the philosophy and design of App Runner.
