Prevent Override SQLite3 Database When Deploying to AWS

Question

I'm super new to Django and currently working on an application that makes use of the awesome SQLite3 database. Only problem is that every time I deploy to AWS, the database information gets completely wiped. This is horrible for my blog because everyone's comments, likes, etc get deleted. :( How can I maintain the data after deployments? Or what can I use instead of SQLite3 without rewriting too much code?

Thanks!

Explain how you are deploying to AWS.

you need to create a file called .ebignore. this file works like a .gitignore file and you need to write filenames you didn't want to deploy by per line.
