I have successfully deployed a MEAN app on AWS ECS, but there are a couple things I don't have set-up properly.
1) If I spin up a new task, the Mongo data does not persist between the containers
2) Should my Mongo container and my frontend container be in the same task definition? This seems wrong because I feel like they should be able to scale independently of each other. But if they should be in separate task definitions, do I link them the same way?
Current Architecture:
1 Task Defintion
- contains frontend container and mongo container which are linked
- I did not define any mounts or volumes (which I assume is why data isn't persisting, but I am struggling to figure out how to properly set this up)
1 Cluster
1 service
- contains load balancer and auto-scaling group (when this auto-scaling group creates a new task, I run into the issue of not having data persistence)
