DevOps Context

This repo demonstrates a manual deployment workflow to AWS EC2:

• EC2 instance provisioned and SSH-accessed
• Apache web server configured to serve the app
• Git-based CI: git pull origin main on server after each merge
• Django backend added and served via Gunicorn behind Apache

This is the starting point of a deployment journey. Automated CI/CD (GitHub Actions + Docker) was implemented in the next phase — see ecommerce-platform.

MarketPeak_Ecommerce

An e-commerce web application deployed on AWS EC2, demonstrating a progression from manual Git-based deployment to a production-ready web stack.

Deployment Architecture

Layer	Technology
Hosting	AWS EC2 (public subnet)
Web server	Apache HTTP Server
Backend	Django + Gunicorn (WSGI)
Deployment method	SSH + git pull origin main
Version control	Feature branches + PR merge workflow

How It Was Deployed

1. EC2 instance launched, SSH key pair configured
2. Apache installed and configured as reverse proxy
3. Repository cloned onto the server
4. git pull origin main used as the deployment mechanism post-merge
5. Django backend added and served via Gunicorn behind Apache

For the next phase (automated CI/CD with Docker and GitHub Actions), see ecommerce-platform.
