My thought process was “What’s the thing I did before? I’ll do that so I don’t have to learn even more things in a small amount of time.”
I’ve only ever done little front end projects locally, so tossing the app out to AWS to have them handle things seemed like the path of least resistance.
Though then I got cocky and tried getting too fancy too quick.
But now I have it out there, I can work on it at work on my personal iPad :)
Sounds fun haha.
You need to make smaller steps and prioritize better.
Sure, that CodeStar build pipeline is awesome, but do you really need it?
If you can build/deploy your project from your own machine via command line you can put it into a CI later.
I went like this:
Do I know about Pusher?
No. I need it for the contest, so I have to learn it.
What do I have to learn? Channels, so lets setup a Pusher app and connect to a channel.
Yay it worked and I didn't have to write a single line of back-end code.
What do I need specifically for my project? Presence channels, so lets set this up.
These need server side authentication. So lets set up a Lambda function for this.
etc.
While I took care of being able to set this whole stuff up via CLI my whole deployment process is still done on my local machine.
You probably understand AWS though haha

I'm relieved to read that :)
