Use Docker github action when building and pushing to ecr

Successful Deployment of Terraform

Overview

As a developer, let's use well-maintained technologies. For this ticket, let's use well maintained github actions rather than whatever we are using right now

Action Items

• [ ] Use docker build and push github actions when deploying to AWS
  • [ ] We should especially take advantage of the action's caching options to reduce our build time
  • [ ] We should selectively disable the cache when our dockerfile changes to prevent the cache from improperly cacheing an erroneous layer

Ask Dev team - what is relevant importance of this? Where are we with this issue?

@kcoronel This should not be a priority as we don't even have a Production deployment yet. When we get around to deploying with Terraform in collaboration with the devops team, then we can start thinking about Github Actions and caching options.

I believe Terraform allows you to automate the action items that Ava is talking about here. When we configure the deployment process ideally it should include those.

I would put this in the bottom of prioritized backlog, or in icebox -- until we are ready for deployment of MVP-1. It would be helpful if we had a technical roadmap so we know what requirements are needed before we reach this step.

Thank you @LoTerence for your response! I think this is best added to Ice Box with the Dependency: Successful Deployment of Terraform. Copy @nooriaali9
