CI/CD Pipeline to deploy Backend API
For CTC we were using GitHub Actions for Continuous integration and deployment We are doing unit testing and coverage when MR is created from a feature branch to Develop and Ons these stages run successfully we merge the branch then the Build stage start where we install some dependencies for serverless and then the Deploy stage will run in which we are deploying the serverless on AWS.
CI/CD Pipeline to deploy Frontend API
We are using Cloudfront with S3 for static content distribution. In Gitlab action we have Unit testing stage and Coverage which is the same as the backed pipeline After MR is merged we will run the Build stage where we will build the code after that Deploy stage will run where it will copy the artifacts code to S3 bucket and after that, we will run invalidate cache.
