A full-stack DevOps framework for simplifying microservice deployment on AWS ECS and EKS.
Mu is a framework that simplifies the declaration and administration of AWS resources needed to run microservices on Amazon ECS or EKS. It addresses the learning curve developers face when orchestrating services like CloudFormation, CodeBuild, and CodePipeline for continuous delivery by abstracting complexity while maintaining control over underlying resources.
Developers and teams deploying microservices on AWS ECS or EKS who want to streamline infrastructure management and continuous delivery pipelines without deep expertise in individual AWS services.
Developers choose Mu for its unified approach to managing both ECS and EKS deployments, integration with AWS continuous delivery tools, and the ability to add custom CloudFormation resources, all while ensuring they retain full control over AWS resources without vendor lock-in.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a single configuration framework (mu.yml) for deploying microservices on both Amazon ECS and Elastic Kubernetes Service, simplifying multi-platform strategies as highlighted in the examples.
Integrates with AWS CodeBuild and CodePipeline to automate continuous delivery workflows, reducing manual orchestration for deployment to dev and prod environments.
Allows users to add custom AWS resources and configurations via CloudFormation alongside Mu-managed infrastructure, maintaining flexibility as demonstrated in the examples.
Creates only necessary AWS resources via CloudFormation stacks with no proprietary databases, enabling independent management if Mu is discontinued, as stated in the philosophy.
The project is explicitly deprecated with no future updates or support, making it risky for production use and requiring migration to alternatives like AWS CDK or ECS CLI v2.
Tightly bound to AWS ecosystems, with no support for other cloud providers or external Kubernetes clusters, limiting flexibility for hybrid or multi-cloud deployments.
While it abstracts AWS services, users must learn the mu.yml syntax and structure for custom scenarios, which can be error-prone compared to more modern infrastructure-as-code tools.
