GitHub Actions is a modern CI/CD tool integrated natively on GitHub. Itenables the rapid automation of build, test, deployment, and other custom workflows on GitHub with no need for external tools.

GitHub Actions is GitHub's CI/CD solution. You can use it to run automated tasks each time you change your code. Although the platform lacks a built-in Kubernetes integration, third-party plugins such as Azure's Deploy to Kubernetes Cluster action can automate deployments and manage different rollout strategies.

GitHub Actions is a feature-rich CI/CD platform embedded within GitHub, enabling developers to automate, customize, and execute software development workflows directly in their repositories. An Action inside GitHub Actions is a discrete unit of automation that performs a specific task within a workflow. All the Actions are reusable, and there are many to choose from. You can even create your own reusable ones.

The real power of using PHP code-quality tools is when it’s added to your continuous integration process, which means it automatically checks the code every time someone makes a push or pull request to your project repo. In this section, we'll be looking at how to do just that. GitHub actions is available for free so we'll use it for demo purposes. Note that there are some limits to private repos, so set your test repo to public if you can.

You can even automate the running of this script — hence the directory name automation — to happen every time the data changes, using GitHub Actions.

You might remember that I’ve been taking an interest in GitHub Actions for the last year or so (I even wrote a book on the subject). And at the Perl Conference in Toronto last summer I gave a talk called “GitHub Actions for Perl Development” (here are the slides and the video).

Preevy is designed to be easily run in CI/CD workflows, such as GH Actions, Circle CI and others.

I set out to add further development and contribution tools to my ez-txt2html converter. Specifically, I wanted to introduce an initial Continuous Integration workflow. For this, I used the “Python Application” workflow template in Github Actions to create a CI testing workflow that builds a Py v3.12 environments, builds the project dependencies, runs Flake8 linting and Black formatting and then subsequently runs PyTest using the test suites I’ve written previously.

environment: Specifies the environment variable that will be available to our Lambda function. In this case I wrote an environment for RDS Database. Anyway, later I will write about AWS CDK using Python for creating database clusters, etc.

Today, I will show you how to build Amazon Location Service, which allows you to build location-based applications within your AWS environment using AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) and AWS CloudFormation. I will also show examples of the recently popular CDK Migrate and AWS CloudFormation IaC generator.

AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK): is an open-source software development framework to define your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages.

I am not one to build programming languages on a whim. In fact, I've spent the last five years building the AWS CDK, which is a multi-language library that addresses some of the challenges I am talking about by allowing developers to define cloud infrastructure using their favorite programming language.

I recently started exploring SST as an alternative to my favorite full-stack set consisting of Projen, AWS CDK, and React. I have been thoroughly impressed with the experience so far. In this article, I will demonstrate how to create a Next.js App Router S3 Picture Uploader using SST.

AWS CDK

For KMS 🔑, Each key is ~$1/mo, and with CDK, keys are generated on a massive scale, if not centralized.

Here is a github repository containing the code and instructions on how to automate this whole setup using AWS CDK.

Now that you have a working smart contract event listener, we'll deploy the resources to AWS using AWS CDK, which is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool. AWS CDK allows you to configure, deploy, and manage AWS cloud resources using popular programming languages such as TypeScript.
