Overview of this book

AWS CodeDeploy, AWS CodeBuild, and CodePipeline are scalable services offered by AWS that automate an application's build and deployment pipeline. In order to deliver tremendous speed and agility, every organization is moving toward automating their entire application pipeline. This book will cover all the AWS services required to automate your deployment to your instances. You'll begin by setting up and using one of the AWS services for automation –CodeCommit. Next, you'll learn how to build a sample Maven and NodeJS application using CodeBuild. After you've built the application, you'll see how to use CodeDeploy to deploy the application in EC2/Auto Scaling. You'll also build a highly scalable and fault tolerant Continuous Integration (CI)/Continuous Deployment (CD) pipeline using some easy-to-follow recipes. Following this, you'll achieve CI/CD for a microservice application and reduce the risk within your software development life cycle globally. You'll also learn to set up an infrastructure using CloudFormation templates and Ansible, and see how to automate AWS resources using AWS Lambda. Finally, you'll learn to automate instances in AWS and automate the deployment lifecycle of applications. By the end of this book, you'll be able to minimize application downtime and implement CI/CD, gaining total control over your software development lifecycle.

Introduction

Microservices is the latest buzzword in the field of software architecture. This architecture is basically getting lots of attention. But before diving deep into it, let's first understand the alternate architecture; then, it will make sense to compare with it and see the use case.

Alternate and traditional architecture is known as monolithic architecture. In an enterprise, whenever we develop any application, it provides all the features and functionalities that meet business requirements, so all these hundreds of features and functionalities are piled or grouped in a single monolithic application. A monolithic application is built as a single piece or unit.

In microservice architecture, all the program components are independent of each other and loosely coupled and are standalone applications of their own. These components communicate with each other by service...
