Before deploying my django drf server i need to test it during production phase so i need to host my django drf project in github and so through ci-cd to aws. So is it need to be dockerized before sending it to aws.

So can anyone please shortly explain how to do it. Is there any tutorial or any documentations to read and is there any free tier for hosting it during development phase. I’ll be moving to the priced tier after development only.
