Deploy React Site Using GitHub Actions & AWS CDK

My Workflow

This is a React template that uses a GitHub Actions Workflow to deploy static files to AWS in multiple development environments with a custom domain and HTTPS. The GH Actions Workflow leverages AWS CDK to create resources/provision services necessary for deployment.

The workflow assumes a Release Flow-like branching strategy that allows for the following development workflow:

• automated testing for "feature/*" branch pushes
• automated testing/dev deployments on pushes and pull requests into master
• automated testing/stg deployments/artifact storage upon tag pushes
• manual workflow for prod deployments where tagged version is specified and deployed from artifact storage
