<p>At the base configuration, choose platform as node.js.</p>
<h2>Upload Node.js application to Elastic Beanstalk</h2>
<p>You can create your own node.js app, but at this blog I'll use the one I already created at my github repo&nbsp;<a title="Sample App AWS - node.js" href="https://github.com/keke78ui9/sample-aws-nodejs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sample-aws-nodejs</a>, so for testing you can just download the&nbsp;<a title="aws-deploy.zip" href="https://github.com/keke78ui9/sample-aws-nodejs/blob/master/aws-deploy.zip">aws-deploy.zip</a>&nbsp;file.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once you upload the&nbsp;<a title="aws-deploy.zip" href="https://github.com/keke78ui9/sample-aws-nodejs/blob/master/aws-deploy.zip">aws-deploy.zip</a>&nbsp;to the Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Elastic Beanstalk will start build solution and deploy to AWS server.</p>
<h4>nodecommand.config</h4>
<p>The important thing for AWS Elastic Beanstalk to build and deploy your node.js app is this <strong>nodecommand.config</strong> file. <strong>NodeCommand</strong> will tell AWS what command will run when you upload your code. At my sample code, it'll run <code>npm start</code></p>
