Getting Started

DragonOps makes it simple and fast to deploy your applications and microservices to the AWS cloud. We focus on AWS specifically so that we can go deeper and invest heavily in more features and customizations within a single cloud provider.

TL;DR - Quickstart Guide

For the fastest way to get your app live, we suggest following our quickstart guide. This guide will walk you through all the necessary steps to get your application running in no time, on your own infrastructure.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites are briefly mentioned in the quickstart guide, but if you want a more detailed guide to walk you through them check out the prerequisites guide.

How DragonOps works

With just three commands, you can have an application live in AWS. We take care of the infrastructure, so you can focus on development. We abstract away the complexity of AWS and hosting so that you can iterate with speed and ease.

As part of making DragonOps a delightful experience, we’ve built out the cli to be as user-friendly as possible. Part of this is the ability to run commands asynchronously, so you don’t have to wait for changes to apply. We kick-off “jobs” that run in your AWS account to apply changes to your infrastructure.

The general flow is:

  1. You run a command using the dragonops cli.
  2. The cli detects changes and updates resource metadata.
  3. A “job” is started that performs the actual infrastructure updates.
  4. Insight into what is going on behind the scenes is available with the dragonops deployment logs command.

We want using DragonOps to be a smooth experience. If you have any feedback, please let us know!
