GitHub Action to deploy the application to AWS EC2
This GitHub Action is based off of my blog to deploy multiple microservices whilst maintaing a single parent repository
How I designed and deployed a scalable microservice architecture with limited resources
- Set up the AWS credentials
- Fetch the environment variables from a bucket in AWS S3
- Check for updates in any git submodules
- Deploy each submodule separately to the AWS EC2 instance
