How to implement Laravel CI/CD with Bitbucket and AWS

If you never did CI/CD implementation of your Laravel project before, then start with Bitbucket pipelines because its easy.

If you did CI/CD implementation of Laravel before then use Bitbucket pipelines because it has a lot of free build time.

Now lets get into it..

	image: atlassian/default-image:2
	pipelines:
	branches:
	master:
	- parallel:
	- step:
	name: "Zip the web code"
	script:
	- zip -r your-application.zip . -x "vendor/*"
	artifacts:
	- /your-application.zip
	- step:
	name: "Zip the queue worker code"
	script:
	- zip -r your-application-queue.zip . -x "vendor/*"
	artifacts:
	- your-application-queue.zip
	- parallel:
	- step:
	name: "Deploy to production web"
	deployment: production
	script:
	- pipe: atlassian/aws-elasticbeanstalk-deploy:0.5.2
	variables:
	AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: 'your aws access key ID'
	AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: 'your aws secret access key'
	AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: 'the region you created the application'
	APPLICATION_NAME: 'your-application-name'
	ENVIRONMENT_NAME: 'production-web'
	ZIP_FILE: 'your-application.zip'
	S3_BUCKET: 'your-application-elasticbeanstalk-deployment'
	VERSION_LABEL: your-application-web_${BITBUCKET_COMMIT:0:8}
	- step:
	name: "Deploy to production queue server"
	script:
	- pipe: atlassian/aws-elasticbeanstalk-deploy:0.5.2
	variables:
	AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: 'your aws access key ID'
	AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: 'your aws secret access key'
	AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: 'the region you created the application'
	APPLICATION_NAME: 'your-application-name'
	ENVIRONMENT_NAME: 'production-worker'
	ZIP_FILE: 'your-application-queue.zip'
	S3_BUCKET: 'your-application-elasticbeanstalk-deployment'
	VERSION_LABEL: your-application-queue_${BITBUCKET_COMMIT:0:8}

Here in line 5 under branches we say when commit is pushed to master branch to run the following:

Create 2 zip files excluding the vendor folder, and they both run in parallel defined by the parallel tag on line 6.

Then again in line 19 we define 2 processes to run in parallel, they deploy to 2 different beanstalk environments. 1 is for web serving instance/s and the other is for the queue instance/s.

To use this you will need to:

• Create 1 application in AWS Beanstalk with 2 environments (web and queue worker).
• Create an S3 bucket
• Obtain your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

replace them with the placeholders and add this file called bitbucket-pipelines.yml into the root of your projects git repository.

If you followed this how to guide, when you push something to master this is how it looks like in Bitbucket:

The next step would be that you run unit tests before the deployment steps.

Have a happy deployment, cheers.
