Streamlining Web App Deployment with AWS CodePipeline

Project Overview

I successfully designed and implemented a comprehensive Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using AWS services, demonstrating end-to-end automation of software delivery from code commit to production deployment.

Key Technologies and Services Used

• Cloud Platform: Amazon Web Services (AWS)

• Version Control: GitHub

• CI/CD Tools:

  • AWS CodePipeline

  • AWS CodeBuild

  • AWS CodeDeploy

  • AWS CodeArtifact

• Infrastructure:

  • EC2 Instances

  • VPC

  • CloudFormation

• Development:

  • Java

  • Maven

  • VSCode Remote SSH

Project Highlights

1. Automated Workflow:

   • Implemented a fully automated pipeline that triggers on GitHub repository updates

   • Seamless integration between GitHub, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy

   • Automatic build, test, and deployment of web application

2. Security and Package Management:

   • Utilized CodeArtifact for secure package storage and management

   • Implemented IAM roles and policies for secure access control

   • Created custom authorization tokens for secure artifact retrieval
