Continuous Deployment

Each application has an automated deployment pipeline. This is a GitHub Action in the application's repository found in .github/workflows/deploy-AWS.yml. The pipeline is triggered when commits are pushed to the main branch.

Key Steps of the Workflow:​

  1. Build Process: The workflow initiates by building Docker images based on the Dockerfile(s) present in the repository.

  2. Image Registry: Once the Docker images are built, they are pushed to the GitHub Container Registry, which is cheaper than hosting them on AWS.

  3. Elastic Beanstalk Deployment: In the final step, the images are deployed to the specified AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment.

In case of deployment failure:
  • All GitHub packages are private by default. Set them to public after the initial release. For more, see GitHub's documentation.
  • Maintain the application and environment names the same in the GitHub workflow and Elastic Beanstalk configuration!
