# CI/CD Pipeline & DevOps Automation with AWS
_This project is part of a 7-part DevOps series, where I implemented a fully automated CI/CD pipeline for an AWS-based web application._
## ⚠️ Problem Statment
Manual deployments are slow, error-prone, and can cause downtime.
## 📈 Business Impact
✅ Eliminates manual deployments and speeds up software delivery.
✅ Reduces downtime & risk by testing infrastructure before deployment.
✅ Ensures dev/prod parity—code behaves the same in all environments.
## 🏢 How Companies Use This
Any company doing frequent deployments (e.g., SaaS companies, fintech) benefits from automated pipelines.

## Technologies Used
- Version Control: Git, GitHub
- CI/CD Automation: AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodeArtifact
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): AWS CloudFormation
- Development: VSCode, AWS EC2 (for development environment)
- Automation & Scripting: AWS CLI
## Setup and Deployment
To set up this project on your local machine:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/joeycloudio/nextwork-devops-webapp.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd nextwork-devops-webapp
```
3. Install dependencies:
```bash
mvn install
```
4. Deploy using AWS CodePipeline:
- Connect GitHub to AWS CodePipeline.
- Define build and deployment stages using AWS services.
## Challenges Faced
⚠️ Frequent EC2 connection timeouts → Resolved by restarting VSCode and rebooting the instance.
⚠️ Git authentication issue → Explored credential storage with git config --global credential.helper store.
⚠️ CodeArtifact Setup Delays → Adjusted the pipeline to handle dependency storage efficiently.
## Key Learnings
✔️ Built a full CI/CD pipeline from scratch using AWS services.
✔️ Mastered GitHub integration with AWS CodePipeline.
✔️ Implemented automated deployments and rollback strategies with CodeDeploy.
✔️ Used CloudFormation to provision infrastructure automatically.
## Future Enhancements
📌 Add monitoring & logging with AWS CloudWatch.
📌 Implement IAM security best practices for pipeline access control.
📌 Extend the pipeline to support multi-environment deployments (Dev → Staging → Prod).
