Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery

Continuous Integration

• Developers push code to a repository (CodeCommit)
• A testing/build server checks the code as soon as it is pushed (CodeBuild)
• Developers get feedback about the build status and tests
• CI helps:
  • Find bugs early and fix them
  • Deliver faster as the code is tested
  • Deploy often

Continuous Delivery

• Ensure that software can be released reliably whenever needed
• Ensures deployment happens ofter and quickly
• We can shift away from “one release every 3 months” mindset to “5 releases a day” (lol)
• This happens with automated deployments (CodeDeploy)
