I’ve optimized my deployment workflow by integrating GitHub Actions with a Self-Hosted Runner on AWS EC2.
The Workflow:
𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿: Push to GitHub.

𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿: Self-hosted on EC2 for faster, cost-effective builds.

𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Automated script updating the Node.js service via PM2.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰: Nginx reverse proxy handling incoming HTTP requests.

This setup eliminates manual intervention, reduces deployment lag, and provides full control over the production environment.
