-# Prerequisites
-#####
-- JDK 11
-- Maven 3
-- MySQL 8 
-
-# Technologies 
-- Spring MVC
-- Spring Security
-- Spring Data JPA
-- Maven
-- JSP
-- MySQL
-# Database
-Here,we used Mysql DB 
-MSQL DB Installation Steps for Linux ubuntu 14.04:
-- $ sudo apt-get update
-- $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
-
-Then look for the file :
-- /src/main/resources/db_backup.sql
-- db_backup.sql file is a mysql dump file.we have to import this dump to mysql db server
-- > mysql -u <user_name> -p accounts < db_backup.sql
+# HProfile CI/CD Deployment on AWS ECS Fargate
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This project demonstrates a complete DevOps CI/CD pipeline for deploying the HProfile Java web application using GitHub Actions, SonarCloud, Docker, Amazon ECR, Amazon ECS Fargate, Amazon RDS, and Application Load Balancer.
+
+The objective of this project was to implement an enterprise-style automated delivery pipeline capable of:
+
+* Building Java applications using Maven
+* Executing automated tests
+* Performing static code analysis using SonarCloud
+* Measuring code coverage using JaCoCo
+* Enforcing coding standards with Checkstyle
+* Building Docker container images
+* Publishing container images to Amazon ECR
+* Deploying containerized workloads to Amazon ECS Fargate
+* Using Amazon RDS as the backend database
+* Exposing the application through an Application Load Balancer
+* Enabling HTTPS using AWS Certificate Manager
+
+---
+

+
+### Stage 2 – Build and Publish
+
+* Update application configuration
+* Build Docker Image
+* Tag image using GitHub Run Number
+* Push image to Amazon ECR
+
+### Stage 3 – Deploy
+
+* Render ECS Task Definition
