They usually maintain Dev, Staging, Test, PreProd, Prod. For each build, they need a specific instance (mostly an EC2 t3.nano instance), it costs about $15 per instance.</p> <p>We can achieve this with some platform like Netlify, but most of the people get this question "Why do we need to share our entire source code?"<br> So there is a need for deployment which is cost-efficient, secure and not to share source code.</p> <h2> Continuous Deployment </h2> <p>As we are high-level apathetic individuals, We never like to build our website and copy the build file to a specific instance. So there is a need for continuous integration.</p> <h2> How can we achieve all this? </h2> <p>There are many ways to deploy static sites:<br> 1. Now<br> 2. S3 Bucket<br> 3. Azure<br> 4. Google cloud<br> 5. Heroku<br> 6. Surge</p> <p>For continuous deployment :<br> . 1. Bitbucket Pipelines<br> 2. Amazon Pipelines</p> <h2> How DepZ works? 🎩 </h2> <p>DepZ integrates Bitbucket with Amazon's S3.</p> <ol> <li><p>Login to Bitbucket Account<br> <a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fs1q8ubrpn2t11gu2ilm1.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fs1q8ubrpn2t11gu2ilm1.png" alt="Depz"></a>BitBucket Login </p></li> <li><p>Once you log in, It’ll display all the repo in that bitbucket account.<br> <a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fyzyb3jl6rj6wje321ygq.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fyzyb3jl6rj6wje321ygq.png" alt="Depz"></a>BitBucket Repo List </p></li> <li><p>Select a repo which you want to deploy<br> <a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F0j9gv708c8l7jo4rxms0.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F0j9gv708c8l7jo4rxms0.png" alt="Depz"></a>Deploy Settings </p></li> <li><p>Once the deployment is done, a URL will be generated.<br> <a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fu1lqe1e1zkhi99n5h0zb.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fu1lqe1e1zkhi99n5h0zb.png" alt="Depz"></a>Live URL </p></li> <li><p>Once the site is live, We need to pull the code from BitBucket repo because continuous deployment is handled via pipelines.</p></li> </ol> <p>/*AWS region selection, Pipelines are #WIP./</p> <h2> Setup DepZ </h2> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> 1.
