Building and Delivering Microservices on AWS

Overview of this book

Reliable automation is crucial for any code change going into production. A release pipeline enables you to deliver features for your users efficiently and promptly. AWS CodePipeline, with its powerful integration and automation capabilities of building, testing, and deployment, offers a unique solution to common software delivery issues such as outages during deployment, a lack of standard delivery mechanisms, and challenges faced in creating sustainable pipelines. You’ll begin by developing a Java microservice and using AWS services such as CodeCommit, CodeArtifact, and CodeGuru to manage and review the source code. You’ll then learn to use the AWS CodeBuild service to build code and deploy it to AWS infrastructure and container services using the CodeDeploy service. As you advance, you’ll find out how to provision cloud infrastructure using CloudFormation templates and Terraform. The concluding chapters will show you how to combine all these AWS services to create a reliable and automated CodePipeline for delivering microservices from source code check-in to deployment without any downtime. Finally, you’ll discover how to integrate AWS CodePipeline with third-party services such as Bitbucket, Blazemeter, Snyk, and Jenkins. By the end of this microservices book, you’ll have gained the hands-on skills to build release pipelines for your applications.

Creating a pipeline

In this section, we are going to create an end-to-end pipeline for our aws-code-pipeline microservice, which we developed in previous chapters. We will create a multistage pipeline. The following diagram shows the different stages of the pipeline. Let’s understand in detail what we will be doing at each stage:

The source stage

At the source stage, we integrate AWS CodePipeline to our CodeCommit repository, aws-code-pipeline, which we created in Chapter 5. If you don’t have the CodeCommit repository, please follow the instructions and push the source code to the repository for further steps. You can download the source code from the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-and-Delivering-Microservices-on-AWS/tree/main/chapter_11.

This stage checks out the source code from the CodeCommit repository and makes it available...
