I have my application code which handles routing and the restful API, written in golang, however all my client side code is written in Vue and I wanted to isolate the two so I did not have to deploy the entire container when I modified a div. I looked into hosting all my static content on a CDN however its a bit hard to dynamically reference the hash

I have thought of dynamically pulling from S3 front end, however, this could be costly even if I cache it. Is there any way to tie AWS EB git hooks and pulling onto the appropriate docker containers?
What I ended up doing was using cloudfront, pointing my www.website.com to the cloudfront site, set up ssl so now my front end deployment is just pushing to s3 essentially.
Then I have my api running on elastic beanstalk and also have ssl set up, so now if I want to hit the api i forward any api.website.com to the name of the server. I also setup ssl so everything is encrypted.
I am also versioning my api like so api.website.com/v1/<endpoint> Deployments are a breeze now!
