CI/CD with Amazon Web Services

Curious how companies like Amazon deploy secure apps at scale fast and reliably? In this talk, Jason Knott will walk us through how Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) works within the Amazon ecosystem using AWS services. He’ll start with a high-level overview of key AWS tools, then break down how AWS CodePipeline ties everything together in a real-world deployment pipeline.

Jason will share a sample GitHub package that includes the deployment code and a working example app built with React (via TypeScript and CDK) and Rust for the backend API. Whether you're just getting started with AWS or looking to level up your deployment workflow, this session will give you a practical look at building modern cloud-native pipelines.
