Manual deploys are slow and they break things — the fix is a pipeline that ships the same way every time. For this build I implemented a full CI/CD pipeline for a Laravel application using AWS CodePipeline and CodeDeploy, with GitHub as the source of truth.
The approach: connect the GitHub repository as the pipeline source, define deployment groups, and configure CodeDeploy to roll releases out to EC2 automatically on every change — turning deployment from a risky manual ritual into a repeatable, hands-off process. The emphasis was on consistency: the same steps, in the same order, on every push.
The outcome is fast, reliable, automated Laravel deployments on AWS with far less room for human error. Automated delivery pipelines like this are a core part of how I set up production infrastructure for clients.
