Modern-day applications that reside on AWS have several distinct environments and accounts, such as dev, test, and staging. An application has to go through an elaborate process of deployment and testing in these environments before reaching its final destination. To achieve automated deployment of the application across different environments, you must use CI/CD pipelines. Different […]

AWS CodeStar Connections is a new feature that allows services like AWS CodePipeline to access third-party code source provider. For example, you can now seamlessly connect your Atlassian Bitbucket Cloud source repository to AWS CodePipeline. This allows you to automate  the build, test, and deploy phases of your release process each time a code change […]

You often use artifact repositories to store and share software or deployment packages. Centralized artifacts enable teams to operate independently and share versioned software artifacts across your organization. Sharing versioned artifacts across organizations increases code reuse and reduces delivery time. Having a central artifact store enables tighter artifact governance and improves security visibility.

Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) helps automate software delivery processes. With the software delivery process automated, developers can test and deliver features faster. In iOS app development, testing your apps on real devices allows you to understand how users will interact with your app and to detect potential issues in real time.

This article is a guest post from AWS Serverless Hero Gojko Adzic. At MindMup, we started using AWS CodeBuild to quickly lift and shift support tasks to the cloud. MindMup is a collaborative mind-mapping tool, used by millions of teachers and students to collaborate on assignments, structure ideas, and organize and navigate complex information. Still, […]

For .NET developers, leveraging Team Foundation Server (TFS) has been the cornerstone for CI/CD over the years. As more and more .NET developers start to deploy onto AWS, they have been asking questions about using the same tools to deploy to the AWS cloud. By configuring a pipeline in Azure DevOps to deploy to the […]

In major integration merges, it’s sometimes necessary to verify the changes with existing online data. To inspect the changes with a cloned database can give us confidence to deploy to the production database. This post demonstrates how to use AWS CodeBuild and Amazon RDS Database Snapshot to verify your code revisions in both the application […]
