+# 🚀 Deployment Guide - Customer Management API
+
+This guide covers multiple deployment methods for the Spring Boot backend to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+### Required Tools
+- **Java 17+**: `java -version`
+- **Maven**: Already included via `./mvnw`
+- **AWS CLI** (for CLI deployment): [Install Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html)
+- **AWS Account** with Elastic Beanstalk access
+
+### AWS Setup
+1. **Create Elastic Beanstalk Application**:
+   ```bash
+   # Via AWS Console or CLI
+   aws elasticbeanstalk create-application \
+     --application-name customer-management-api \
+     --description "Customer Management REST API"
+   ```
+
+2. **Create Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   aws elasticbeanstalk create-environment \
+     --application-name customer-management-api \
+     --environment-name customer-management-api-env \
+     --platform-arn "arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:eu-north-1::platform/Java 17 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/3.x.x"
+   ```
+
+## 🎯 Deployment Methods
+
+### Method 1: Manual Build & Deploy (Beginner Friendly)
+
+**Step 1**: Build the deployment package
+```bash
+cd server
+./build-and-deploy.sh
+```
+
+**Step 2**: Upload via AWS Console
+1. Go to [AWS Elastic Beanstalk Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/)
+2. Select your application → Environment
+3. Click "Upload and Deploy"
+4. Upload the generated zip file from `deploy/deploy-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip`
+5. Click "Deploy"
+
+### Method 2: AWS CLI Deployment (Recommended for Development)
+
+**Prerequisites**: 
+```bash
+# Install AWS CLI
+aws --version
+
+# Configure credentials
+aws configure
+```
+
+**Deploy**:
+```bash
+cd server
+./deploy-aws-cli.sh [environment-name]
+
+# Example
+./deploy-aws-cli.sh customer-management-api-env
+```
+
+### Method 3: GitHub Actions CI/CD (Recommended for Production)
+
+**Step 1**: Set up GitHub Secrets
+Go to your repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
+
+Add these secrets:
+- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`: Your AWS access key
+- `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`: Your AWS secret key
+
+**Step 2**: Update workflow configuration
+Edit `.github/workflows/deploy-backend.yml`:
+```yaml
+application_name: your-eb-application-name
+environment_name: your-eb-environment-name  
+region: your-aws-region
+```
+
+**Step 3**: Deploy
+Push changes to `main` branch:
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Deploy: Update backend"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables (Set in AWS EB Console)
+
+**Database Configuration**:
+```
+DB_HOST=your-rds-endpoint.amazonaws.com
+DB_PORT=5432
+DB_NAME=customerdb
+DB_USERNAME=your-username
+DB_PASSWORD=your-secure-password
+```
+
+**CORS Configuration**:
+```
+CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://main.d123456789.amplifyapp.com,https://your-frontend-domain.com
+```
+
+**Application Settings**:
+```
+SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=production
+JPA_DDL_AUTO=validate
+LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+```
+
+## 🏥 Health Checks
+
+Elastic Beanstalk will use these endpoints:
+- **Health Check**: `/api/health`
+- **Ping Test**: `/api/ping`
+
+## 📊 Monitoring
+
+### CloudWatch Logs
+Logs are automatically streamed to CloudWatch:
+```bash
+# View logs via CLI
+aws logs describe-log-groups --log-group-name-prefix "/aws/elasticbeanstalk"
+```
+
+### Application Metrics
+- **Health Dashboard**: AWS EB Console → Environment Health
+- **Application Logs**: AWS EB Console → Logs
+- **Monitoring**: CloudWatch metrics for requests, latency, errors
+
+## 🚨 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**1. Health Check Failures**
+```bash
+# Check if health endpoint responds
+curl https://your-app-url.elasticbeanstalk.com/api/health
+```
+
+**2. Database Connection Issues**
+- Verify RDS security groups allow EB connections
+- Check environment variables are set correctly
+- Ensure database exists and credentials are valid
+
+**3. CORS Issues**
+- Update `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` with your frontend URL
+- Verify frontend is using correct backend URL
+
+### Debugging Commands
+```bash
+# Check environment status
+aws elasticbeanstalk describe-environments \
+  --application-name customer-management-api
+
+# Download logs
+aws elasticbeanstalk request-environment-info \
+  --environment-name customer-management-api-env \
+  --info-type tail
+
+# View recent events
+aws elasticbeanstalk describe-events \
+  --environment-name customer-management-api-env
+```
+
+## 🔄 Rollback
+
+If deployment fails:
+```bash
+# List previous versions
+aws elasticbeanstalk describe-application-versions \
+  --application-name customer-management-api
+
+# Rollback to previous version
+aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment \
+  --environment-name customer-management-api-env \
+  --version-label previous-version-label
+```
+
+## 🎯 Best Practices
+
+1. **Test Locally First**: Always test with `./mvnw spring-boot:run`
+2. **Database Migrations**: Use `validate` in production, `update` only in development
+3. **Environment Variables**: Never commit secrets to git
+4. **Monitoring**: Set up CloudWatch alarms for error rates
+5. **Blue/Green Deployments**: Use EB's deployment policies for zero-downtime deploys
