How Its Made Pt3

Posted on

Intro

In Part 2 I showed you how I used a makefile to deploy to aws, taking advantage of S3 and CloudFront. I mentioned I’d like to add a little CI/CD

Adding CI/CD

Enter netlify. It took 15 minutes to get set up and it’s free. I’m not sure I need to add much more in this paragraph - their documentation is awesome.

It’s one or two less things to think about and it means I can divert my efforts elsewhere. It’s perhaps a little slower than my old makefile, but it does mean that I can deploy from practically anywhere and don’t have to think about AWS credentials.

The Future

I don’t know! Maybe write more?
