Summary
In this presentation, I’ll introduce Knit To Knit, a web platform designed to help knitters create and sell patterns through a modern, user-friendly interface. After a brief overview of the company’s mission and core features, I’ll dive into how I deployed and hosted the site using AWS. I’ll walk through the infrastructure setup—using EC2, S3, and Docker to run a Django backend and React/Vite frontend—and explain how I managed security, environment variables, and production performance. I’ll wrap up with a live demo of the platform in action.
