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.

AWS CodeCommit – maintaining code repository


AWS CodeCommit is a highly scalable and fully managed source control service under Developer tools in AWS. It is highly secure and helps companies to store source code on private GitHub repositories. It eliminates worry about scaling the infrastructure or your source code system.

AWS CodeCommit has the following benefits:

  • Fully managed: It eliminates the need to host, maintain, back up, and scale own source control servers. It scales automatically, as per the needs for your project.
  • High availability: It provides highly scalable, durable, and redundant architecture which is designed to keep your repositories accessible and available.
  • Store anything: There are no size limits for the repository and it allows you to store any type of files. You can store different versions of application assets such as libraries and images with your code.
  • Secure: It is fully integrated with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to allow you to assign user-specific...
