AWS App Runner Service Fail

[francesco-hayes]

Description

I am trying to deploy "typesense/typesense:0.23.0" docker image to AWS App Runner via ECR. It is currently the only deployment service we have access to for this project. Do I miss understand the use case of AWS App Runner?

This is my first attempt at using AWS Deployment Services so any help and or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Steps to reproduce

Deploy the docker container to ECR and connect it to the App Runner Service when prompted.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is a successful deployment to AWS App Runner.

Actual Behavior

I currently see a failed service deployment. Typesense will fail after each "health check" on the defined port once the image is pulled and begins deployment.

I have tried setting different environment variables in hopes I might have missed something for the docker image to deploy. However, all that has left me with the same outcome.

Metadata

Typsense Version: 0.23.0

OS: Docker

@francesco-hayes Typesense needs a persistent volume to manage state and I don't believe App Runner supports this.

Would this be a problem then on AWS ECS Fargate serverless?

[jasonbosco]

That's right. Serverless models typically don't allow access to disk, and can also be interrupted by management system, which doesn't work with Typesense's in-memory + disk as backup model.

Awesome, thank you for the prompt response.
