What is this?
AWS CodePipeline orchestrates CI/CD stages: source, build, test, deploy. It integrates with CodeCommit, GitHub, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy.
Why should you care?
AwsVerse ships banking patches through approved pipelines with manual approval before production.
See it live — copy this example
Run in AWS CloudShell / local AWS CLI v2, or follow the matching steps in the AWS Console (Free Tier).
aws codepipeline create-pipeline \
--pipeline file://pipeline.jsonWhat happened?
- pipeline.json defines stages: Source (CodeStar GitHub connection), Build (CodeBuild), Deploy (ECS).
- Pipeline JSON keeps infrastructure repeatable.
Practice next
- Create pipeline.json with two stages: Source and Build.
- Connect GitHub via CodeStar connection.
- Push commit; watch pipeline execution in console.
- Add CloudWatch alarm action to stop pipeline.
- Insert test stage running npm test in CodeBuild.
Remember
CodePipeline = release orchestration. Stages are sequential actions. Use approvals for prod.

Compliance requires auditable deploy path.
Outcome: Every prod deploy logged with commit SHA and approver.
