Deploy MERN Stack App on AWS EC2 using GitHub Actions & SSL Setup

In this video, I will walk you through deploying a MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) stack application on AWS EC2 with the power of GitHub Actions for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). I will also guide you through the process of setting up SSL certificates to ensure secure, encrypted communication over HTTPS.
