Overview

This exercise demonstrates the use of CI/CD tooling.

As the task is open-ended, it leaves you with quite a few decisions to make.

The end result and the way to get there can be very simple or it can be very complex, depending on how you approach it.

Please note, the choice of application/service is not as important as the choice of tooling and automation itself.

Enjoy!

Goal

Design and implement a CI/CD pipeline that builds, tests and deploys either a single-page web application or REST API.

Criteria

• Pipeline should be described in a file (e.g. .gitlab-ci.yml in GitLab)
• Any required infrastructure should be defined as code using either Terraform or CloudFormation
• Provide web application/API endpoint URL
• Provide source code of the solution so we can easily reproduce it in our environment

Optional

• Provide documentation and diagram for the proposed solution
• Write a simple app/service of your own

Technologies

• Use free version of CI/CD tools (e.g. GitLab, CircleCI, Travis CI etc.)
• Use any open source application/service written in any language
• Use AWS Free Tier if cloud resources are required
