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.

Managing Artifacts Using CodeArtifact

In this chapter, you will learn about code artifact repositories and how the CodeArtifact service from AWS helps you to manage artifacts. You will understand how you can push your code artifacts to the AWS CodeArtifact service. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • What is an artifact?
  • Artifact repository
  • AWS CodeArtifact
  • The benefits of CodeArtifact
  • The limitations of CodeArtifact
  • CodeArtifact domains
  • CodeArtifact repositories

In the previous chapters, we learned about microservice development using Java and Maven projects. We learned that to compile and run our application, to build the application we need, a set of dependencies needs to be available to us; these dependencies are pulled from a centralized public Maven artifact repository. CodeArtifact is the managed artifact repository provided by AWS where we can push our generated artifacts and download different application dependencies...
