Deploying Dockerized NestJS Microservices on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Client: Confidential (Tech Company via Upwork – Global SaaS Integration)
Industry: B2B SaaS / API Integrations

The Challenge

The client had developed a set of NestJS microservices, each containerized with Docker and communicating via RabbitMQ. While they had prepared Dockerfiles and a working docker-compose.yml, they needed expert guidance to:

  • Deploy the architecture reliably using AWS Elastic Beanstalk (Multi-Container Docker)
  • Ensure RabbitMQ message delivery across services in production
  • Assign a static Elastic IP to support partner-side API whitelisting
  • Deliver a stable, scalable, and well-documented cloud environment under time pressure

Our Solution

InfraxDev delivered a production-grade deployment pipeline, focusing on performance, clarity, and long-term maintainability.

Platform & Networking Setup:

  • Translated docker-compose.yml into Dockerrun.aws.json
  • Used Elastic Beanstalk’s Multi-Container Docker Platform
  • Deployed RabbitMQ as a sidecar or dedicated container
  • Applied Elastic Beanstalk extensions for custom health checks, scaling, and environment config

Elastic IP & Whitelisting:

  • Allocated a Static Elastic IP behind a NAT Gateway
  • Routed outbound/inbound traffic through the fixed IP
  • Ensured DNS and network routing aligned with API partner requirements

Delivery & Handoff:

  • Supplied step-by-step deployment documentation
  • Validated the entire environment against the client’s application stack
  • Handed off a clean, extensible setup for future iterations

What the Client Said

Why It Matters

Deploying Dockerized microservices often introduces friction across orchestration, networking, and external API exposure. With InfraxDev’s expertise in Elastic Beanstalk, Docker, and AWS networking, teams get robust, production-ready infrastructure that scales — without the guesswork.
