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.

What is GitHub?

GitHub is an open source version control system that provides hosting of Git-based repositories. GitHub supports unlimited public and private repositories for free, although features are limited on private repositories. GitHub is a very popular source version control system within the developer community.

GitHub has an enterprise offering that is dedicated for the organization, and you can host it on your infrastructure. The following are some of the features that GitHub supports:

  • GitHub provides an easy interface for creating and manage repositories, projects, and organizations
  • GitHub allows contributors to easily notify a change pushed to the repository, and you can get notifications of changes to your subscribed activities
  • GitHub supports easy code review with visual differences, so you can spot which files have been changed and what changes have been made
  • You can configure rules and assign code to do peer code reviews in a pull request
