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.

AWS CodeArtifact

AWS CodeArtifact is a service provided by AWS for managing artifacts, in which you can create repositories, upload your artifacts, and share artifacts easily and securely. AWS CodeArtifact is a fully managed service and integrates well with commonly used package managers and build tools, and you can secure it using AWSKey Management Service (KMS).

AWS CodeArtifact uses highly available and durable S3 storage to store the artifacts’ data, while metadata about the repositories is stored in Amazon DynamoDB. Artifacts are stored in an encrypted form so that they are secured at rest and stored in multiple zones.

The following diagram shows how the AWS CodeArtifact service works. A CodeArtifact repository connects to the public repositories to download artifacts. Developers connect to the CodeArtifact repository to download dependencies, and AWS CodeBuild (or any other build tool) can be used to connect to the CodeArtifact repository to publish the artifacts...
