Hey everyone! I just put together a new project and wanted to share how you can build a fully automated CI/CD pipeline to deploy a React.js application.
The best part? It uses AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and Amazon S3 to automatically build and deploy your app every single time you push a change to your GitHub repo. Say goodbye to manual deployments!
This is a fantastic way to get your hands dirty with some of the most in-demand AWS services and streamline your entire front-end workflow.
🤖 What Does This Project Do?
In short, this project sets up a system where you can:
- Write your React code locally.
- Push your code to the main branch on GitHub.
- Automatically trigger an entire build and deploy process on AWS.
- See your live, updated website hosted on a static Amazon S3 bucket.
🔧 How It Works
The magic happens in just a few steps:
- You push your new code to the main branch on GitHub.
- AWS CodePipeline instantly detects the change.
- AWS CodeBuild pulls the code, installs all the dependencies (npm install), and runs the build (npm run build).
- The final build output (the static files) is automatically deployed to your S3 bucket.
- Amazon S3 serves your React app as a public, static website. All done!
