CI/CD and Gitops with Microservices: Open Ecosystem vs AWS Native
"Hi, I'm a 16-year-old full-stack web developer diving into AWS and DevOps. While building apps I learned that writing code is only half the journey - getting it deployed, updated, and running reliably is also just as important if not more. When I started deploying my apps to the cloud, I realized how many manual steps it took to get the app running."
"Understanding Microservices Deployment Challenges - Why deploying microservices is harder than monolithic apps and how automation helps. Understanding CI/CD Pipeline- Breaking down Continuous Integration (testing, building) and Continuous Deployment (delivery to production). Understanding GitOps- How Git acts as a single source of truth for deployments, and how tools like Argo CD and Flux implement it. Open Ecosystem Approach - Using GitHub Actions for CI and Argo CD for CD on Amazon EKS."
A young full-stack developer encountered many manual steps when deploying apps to the cloud and adopted CI/CD and GitOps to automate testing, building, and deployments. GitOps uses Git as the single source of truth for deployments, with tools like Argo CD and Flux reconciling cluster state. GitHub Actions can handle CI workflows, while Argo CD performs continuous delivery on Kubernetes such as AWS EKS. AWS CodeBuild and CodePipeline provide native alternatives. Automation reduces deployment time, improves reliability, and scales microservices delivery. The workflow includes automated tests, builds, and deployment pipelines implemented via open ecosystem or AWS-native tools.
