CI/CD Pipeline for Serverless Full Stack Deployment

🚀 What Does It Do?

This pipeline automates the deployment of a serverless infrastructure on AWS, leveraging:

• S3 for frontend hosting
• Lambda & API Gateway for backend services
• CloudFront for CDN and SSL termination

This setup provides a highly cost-effective and scalable full-stack application without the need to manage any servers.

📷 Architecture Overview

Here's a visual overview of the architecture the pipeline will deploy:

🔧 Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

1. An AWS account.
2. A user with sufficient permissions configured in your AWS CLI.

That's all you need!

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these simple steps to deploy your serverless infrastructure:

1. Create a Repository
   Start by creating your own repository to test the pipeline.

2. Clone the Repo & Set Up Credentials
   Clone this repository and navigate to the setup folder. Run the script:

   ./create_pipeline_creds.sh

   This will create an AWS user following the principle of least privilege (PoLP), which you can use for your repository.

3. Configure GitHub Secrets
   Once the script runs, it will output the necessary variables. Add these as GitHub Secrets in your repository.

4. Configure the Infrastructure
   Modify the infra/variables.tf file with your desired AWS region. By default this is set to eu-west-2

5. Push Your Code
   Push the code to your repository, and watch the pipeline work!
