How to deploy an AWS ECS Cluster with AWS CDK (in GoLang) and Deploying a Streamlit-OpenAI App to the cluster

Nowadays everything is getting an AI flavor to them. So it is becoming more important to be able to properly deploy AI apps and be able to define the infrastructure for such apps. I found that AWS CDK is a very useful infrastructure-as-code (IaaC) tool provided by AWS, which makes it very easy to deploy the infrastructure to AWS. So I created this blog post to help someone start learning AWS CDK and how to use it to deploy infrastructure to AWS.

In this blog post, we’ll follow step by step, using AWS CDK and create an ECS cluster tailored to hosting our Streamlit-OpenAI app. We will see how we can use CDK to not only deploy ECS but the whole infrastructure to support the Streamlit app which uses OpenAI API. The Streamlit framework provides an intuitive way to build interactive web applications for data science and machine learning, while the OpenAI API empowers our app with state-of-the-art natural language processing capabilities.
