Creating Advanced CI/CD Tasks
In the previous chapter, we managed to simulate an AWS environment locally through a Compose application. We mocked AWS services such as DynamoDB, S3, and SQS. Also, we simulated the invocation of Lambda functions through Docker containers and came up with a workaround to simulate traffic toward SQS-based Lambda services by introducing an extra service in the Compose installation.
This enabled us to be focused on developing our application without the need to interact with the AWS console, provision any AWS infrastructure, and deal with the needs of a cloud-hosted environment. From the beginning, we were focused on developing the application locally and simulating the components needed.
Since we have been productive so far in developing the application, the next logical step is to introduce some CI/CD to our current application. Throughout the development life cycle, we want our application to build, test, and deploy automatically.
