Overview of this book

Expert AWS Development begins with the installation of the AWS SDK and you will go on to get hands-on experience of creating an application using the AWS Management Console and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Then, you will integrate applications with AWS services such as DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SWF. Following this, you will get well versed with CI/CD workflow and work with four major phases in the release process – Source, Build, Test, and Production. Then, you will learn to apply AWS Developer tools to your Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) workflow. Later, you will learn about user authentication using Amazon Cognito, and also how you can evaluate the best architecture as per your infrastructure costs. You will learn about Amazon EC2 service and will deploy an app using it. You will also deploy a practical real-world example of a CI/CD application with the Serverless Application Framework, which is known as AWS Lambda. Finally, you will learn how to build, develop, and deploy the Application using AWS Developer tools such as AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline, as per your project requirements.

Continuous Delivery – automating build and self-testing


After fully implementing CI in the organization, you can move on to the next process and implement Continuous Delivery.

The following is a schematic of Continuous Delivery. In this process, the Dev Team, Testing Team, and Software Configuration Team work together to integrate the latest code and make it available for the acceptance test. Once this acceptance test has completed successfully, the product is available for delivery:

Continuous Delivery aims to deliver quality software in a very fast manner. It has the ability to continuously deliver changes, such as new features, bug fixes, and configuration changes into UAT, staging, and production. It also helps to deliver work in small batches frequently, so that issues can be uncovered at an early stage.

Continuous Delivery differs from Continuous Integration as it will feed the business logic for tests. For Continuous Integration it will do the unit test and unable to catch all the design...
