🛠️ End-to-End CI/CD with AWS — Test, Build & Deploy to S3

Hey everyone! 👋

I've put together a complete end-to-end CI/CD setup using:

  • ✅ AWS CodePipeline
  • ✅ AWS CodeBuild
  • ✅ S3 for hosting a static website
  • ✅ Separate unit testing stage before build

If you're looking to test, build, and deploy your web app — automatically — using only AWS services, you’ll love this setup.


✅ What This Project Covers

📌 Step-by-step setup for

  • Running unit tests with a dedicated unit-test CodeBuild stage
  • Building your app (React, Angular, Vue, etc.)
  • Deploying the built files to an S3 bucket (static website hosting)
  • Automating it all with AWS CodePipeline

🔬 Unit Testing Before Build

I’ve added a separate CodeBuild project that:

  • Runs your test framework
  • Fails early if tests don't pass ✅
  • Prevents broken code from moving to build or deploy stages

⚙️ Final Build & Deployment

Once tests pass, a second CodeBuild stage:

  • Runs build
  • Uploads the output (like dist/ or build/) to S3
  • S3 serves your static website via public endpoint or CloudFront

🧠 Who Should Try This?

  • Frontend developers deploying static apps
  • DevOps engineers automating CI/CD pipelines
  • Anyone exploring AWS CodeBuild, CodePipeline & S3!

🛠️ Tools Used

  • AWS CodePipeline
  • AWS CodeBuild
  • AWS S3
  • GitHub as source

💬 Feel free to clone the repo, try it out, and ask me anything! Let's build the right way — with testing, automation, and zero manual deploys. 🚀
