Introduction:
Our team was approached by a client who wanted to develop a web application that could deliver tailored content to senior citizens. The client wanted the application to be easily scalable based on demand. Our team was tasked with developing the necessary infrastructure in AWS and integrating the deployment pipelines with GitHub.
Challenges:
The primary challenge that our team faced was to ensure that the application was scalable and easily deployable. The client wanted to be able to handle a high volume of traffic on their website without experiencing any downtime. We also had to ensure that the deployment process was smooth and seamless, with minimal interruption to the users.
Another challenge was related to integrating commits from the development environment to the GitHub repo and deploying them seamlessly in the production Beanstalk environment. We had to ensure that the deployment process did not break any existing functionalities and that the application was always up and running.
Solution:
Our team utilized AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS MySQL Aurora to develop the necessary infrastructure for the application. Elastic Beanstalk allowed us to create an environment for deploying the application easily. We used Aurora as the database for the application, which enabled us to store and manage data effectively.
We also integrated the deployment pipelines with GitHub, which enabled us to automate the deployment process. We utilized GitHub Actions to ensure that the deployment process was seamless and uninterrupted. We also created a staging environment for testing and development, which allowed us to test new features and functionalities without affecting the production environment.
To address the challenge of integrating commits from the development environment to the GitHub repo and deploying them seamlessly in the production Beanstalk environment, we utilized a Continuous Deployment (CD) approach. We utilized github commands to automate the entire deployment process, from building the application to deploying it in the production environment.
Conclusion:
Our team successfully developed a web application for delivering tailored content to senior citizens. The project required us to utilize AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS MySQL Aurora, and GitHub. We were able to develop the necessary infrastructure in AWS, integrate the deployment pipelines with GitHub, and ensure that the application was easily scalable based on demand.
The integration of commits from the development environment to the GitHub repo and deploying them seamlessly in the production Beanstalk environment was achieved through a Continuous Deployment (CD) approach. The deployment process was automated using AWS CodePipeline, ensuring that the deployment process was seamless and uninterrupted.
Overall, the project was a success, and our client was satisfied with the outcome. The application was easily scalable, and the deployment process was smooth and seamless, with minimal interruption to the users.
