Add Infra to Existing Project
Scenario

Add Infra to Existing Project

Provision AWS ECS infrastructure for a project that was already scaffolded (without cloud infra). Use this workflow when you started with scaffold-only and are now ready to deploy to production.

Prerequisites

  • An existing Fuel monorepo project (already scaffolded)
  • OpenTofu >= 1.8 installed
  • AWS account with IAM user that has Administrator access
  • GitHub personal access token with repo and admin:repo_hook scopes
  • ACM SSL certificate ARN for your domain
  • FUEL CLI installed: npm install -g @swovohq/fuel
1

Navigate to your project

Make sure you are in the root directory of your existing Fuel project.

cd my-app
2

Generate fuel.yml and credentials

Run fuel infra:init to interactively create the fuel.yml and .fuel-credentials files for your project.

fuel infra:init
$
3

Validate the configuration

Verify fuel.yml and credentials are correct before provisioning.

fuel config:verify fuel.yml
$
4

Deploy the infrastructure

Run fuel infra:deploy --config fuel.yml to provision all AWS resources and push your existing code to a new GitHub repository.

fuel infra:deploy --config fuel.yml
$

Notes

  • •If the command fails partway through, run fuel infra:deploy (without --config) to resume.
  • •Use --plan-only first to preview the infrastructure changes before applying.
  • •Use --tofu-only if you only want to run OpenTofu without touching GitHub.
