Building a CI/CD Pipeline for a Serverless Express Application with AWS CDK
<p>Ever wondered how the top tech companies deploy their applications so seamlessly? It all starts with an efficient CI/CD pipeline, the assembly line of the software world. In today’s fast-paced software development environment, mastering this process is crucial for delivering high-quality applications. But there’s another piece to the puzzle: ‘infrastructure as code.’ Imagine being able to write, test, and deploy your entire infrastructure using code! Sounds intriguing?</p>
<p>In this blog post, we will explore how to build a CI/CD pipeline for a serverless express.js backend application using AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit). By using serverless architecture, you’ll not only streamline your development but also significantly reduce operating costs. By the end of this post, you’ll have a</p>
