Project Goal: I have a fully working software application developed in Replit. I now need it deployed into a UK-hosted production environment so the system is fully UK GDPR compliant. No production data should ever be stored on Replit. I need a developer to handle all technical setup steps on AWS.
⸻
What I Need You To Do
1. Server Setup (AWS Lightsail – London Region) • Create a Lightsail instance in eu-west-2 (London) • Configure Ubuntu + Node.js or Python (depending on app) • Install Git, pull my code, install dependencies • Set up environment variables securely • Configure the app to run with PM2 or systemd
⸻
2. Database Setup (UK-Only) • Create a Lightsail Managed Database in London (Postgres or MySQL depending on app) • Configure secure connection settings • Run migrations / initialise schema • Ensure no remote access except from the application
⸻
3. Secure UK File Storage (S3 London) • Create an S3 bucket in eu-west-2 for file uploads • Set correct IAM user + restricted access policies • Configure the application to upload files to S3 instead of local storage
⸻
4. Reverse Proxy + HTTPS • Install and configure Nginx • Set up reverse proxy to the running application • Configure Let’s Encrypt SSL using Certbot so the domain is fully HTTPS • Ensure auto-renewal of certificates
⸻
5. Domain Configuration • Provide instructions for DNS setup (or do it if I provide access) • Point domain or subdomain to the Lightsail Static IP
⸻
6. Logging & Basic Monitoring • Ensure server logs are working • Set up simple health check or restart policy in PM2 • Confirm no logs are exported outside the UK
⸻
7. Security Hardening • Disable root login • Ensure SSH key authentication • Firewall so only ports 80/443 are open • Ensure database is not publicly open • Add swap file if needed
⸻
8. Deployment Workflow • Create a simple deployment script or instructions so I can redeploy future updates easily (pull from GitHub + restart PM2) • Ensure Replit remains development only
⸻
Deliverables • Live production server running in the UK • UK-hosted database • UK S3 bucket for uploads • Working HTTPS domain • Written instructions for how to redeploy new versions • Cleanup: no personal data stored in Replit or non-UK locations
⸻
Additional Notes • Please ensure everything is configured with UK data residency. • All hosting, databases and storage must remain inside the UK (eu-west-2). • The main aim is fully UK GDPR-compliant hosting, with clear documentation. • Once finished, I should be able to update the system with one or two simple commands.

To Apply
Please answer these questions briefly: 1. Have you deployed apps to AWS Lightsail + S3 before? 2. Can you confirm you understand UK data residency/GDPR hosting requirements? 3. Estimated turnaround time? 4. Your fixed price or hourly estimate?
