+# How to deploy spreadsheet server to AWS EKS using Docker in React Spreadsheet component
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* `AWS account` and [`AWS CLI`](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) installed and configured.
+* [`kubectl`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) installed and configured.
+* Access to an existing EKS cluster, or you can create one via the AWS console or CLI.
+* Docker installed if you plan to build and push a custom image.
+
+**Step 1:** Configure your environment
+Ensure `kubectl` is pointing to the EKS cluster and nodes are Ready. Run the following command to authenticate and configure kubectl for your cluster.
+
+```bash
+
+aws configure # enter your Access Key, Secret Key, region, and output format (e.g., json)
+aws eks update-kubeconfig --region <region> --name <cluster-name>
+kubectl get nodes # verify that your cluster nodes are ready
+
+```
+
+**Step 2:** Create the Deployment
+Create a file named spreadsheet-deployment.yaml defining a deployment for the Syncfusion® container. The container listens on port `8080`:
+
+```yaml
+
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: spreadsheet-server
+  labels:
+    app: spreadsheet-server
+spec:
+  replicas: 1 # Increase to 2 or more for higher availability
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: spreadsheet-server
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      labels:
+        app: spreadsheet-server
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - name: spreadsheet-server
+        image: syncfusion/spreadsheet-server:latest
+        ports:
+        - containerPort: 8080
+        env:
+            - name: SYNCFUSION_LICENSE_KEY
+              value: "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"
+
+```
+
+N> If you build a custom image, push it to Docker Hub or AWS ECR and update `image:` field accordingly.
+
+**Step 3:** Expose the Service
+Create a s`preadsheet-service.yaml` to define a Service of type `LoadBalancer` that forwards traffic to the container. Customize the external port (5000) as needed; the internal `targetPort` should remain 8080 because the container listens on that port.
+
+```yaml
+
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Service
+metadata:
+  name: spreadsheet-server-service
+spec:
+  selector:
+    app: spreadsheet-server
+  type: LoadBalancer
+  ports:
+    - protocol: TCP
+      port: 5000 # External port exposed by the load balancer
+      targetPort: 8080 # Internal container port
+
+```
+
+**Step 4:** Deploy to EKS
+1. Apply the manifests:
+
+```bash
+
+kubectl apply -f spreadsheet-deployment.yaml
+kubectl apply -f spreadsheet-service.yaml
+
+```
+
+2. Use the kubectl get pods command to monitor pod status. To retrieve the external address, run:
+
+```bash
+
+kubectl get svc spreadsheet-server-service
+
+```
+
+3. Retrieve the external address from the Service output. Use `https://` only if the Load Balancer is configured with TLS (use ACM for certificates).
+
+**Step 5:** Configure the React client
+
+Start by following the steps provided in this [link](../getting-started.md) to create a simple Document Editor sample in React. This will give you a basic setup of the Document Editor component. Once the Service reports an external address (e.g., a1b2c3d4e5f6-1234567890.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com), update the [`openUrl`](https://helpej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/api/spreadsheet/#openurl) and [`saveUrl`](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/api/spreadsheet/#saveurl) properties of your React Spreadsheet component:
+
+```jsx
+
+<SpreadsheetComponent
+	openUrl={`http://${serviceDNS}:5000/api/spreadsheet/open`}
+	saveUrl={`http://${serviceDNS}:5000/api/spreadsheet/save`}
+/>
+
+```
+
+N> Use `https://` if your Load Balancer has TLS configured.
+
+**Step 6:** Scaling and customization
+- `Scale replicas:` To handle a higher workload, you can scale your deployment by increasing the replicas count in your `spreadsheet-deployment.yaml` file and then run `kubectl apply -f spreadsheet-deployment.yaml` to apply the changes. Kubernetes will automatically manage the distribution of traffic across the pods.
+- `Resource limits:` Define `resources.requests`, and `resources.limits` in the container spec to allocate CPU and memory appropriately.
+- `Environment variables:` In addition to SYNCFUSION_LICENSE_KEY, you can set other configuration keys (e.g., culture) using the env: section in the deployment manifest without modifying the docker image.
