Learn to work with the most fundamental services AWS offers such as DynamoDB, S3, and EC2 to create reliable and scalable systems.

Scalability & System Design for Developers

In this module, we’ll learn to work with the most fundamental services AWS offers, such as DynamoDB, S3, and EC2 to create reliable and scalable systems. Walk through getting a basic web application running in the cloud on AWS. You won’t find most of the knowledge that's shared here in the AWS docs.

The Good Parts of AWS: Cutting Through the Clutter

## Objective
- Automatically update our application when a change gets pushed to GitHub.

## Steps

- Get GitHub credentials.
- Creating S3 bucket for build artifacts.
- CodeBuild to pull changes from GitHub.
---

In this section, we're going to use CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline so that our application gets updated automatically as soon as we push a change to GitHub.

## GitHub access token

We will need a GitHub access token to let CodeBuild pull changes from GitHub. To generate an access token, go to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new and click _Generate new token_. Give it _repo_ and _admin:repo_hook_ permissions, and click _Generate token_.

Getting GitHub credentials, creating an S3 bucket for build artifacts, and telling CodeBuild to pull the changes from GitHub will be demonstrated in this lesson.
