Deploying the App

In the previous chapter, we learned how to write tests for our server-side Shopping List application. We also learned how to create an automated pipeline to run tests for our code so that we can maintain code quality and fix problems early on rather than discovering them later in production. In this chapter, we will look at how we can deploy our app to the cloud so that we can have it running 24/7 and access it via the internet from anywhere. We will also set up an automated pipeline such that our code will deploy automatically when the tests in Travis pass for our master branch. With this, our project not only has Continuous Integration (CI) but also Continuous Deployment (CD) setup, making it a lot easier for a team of developers to maintain a server-side Swift application along with a client-side iOS app without needing a dedicated Dev Ops team to ensure that...
