Getting Started

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/hsiddhu2/springboot-helloworld.git
cd springboot-helloworld

Build the Application

mvn clean install

Run the Application Locally

mvn spring-boot:run

Access the application at http://localhost:8080.

Deployment

Deploy to AWS EC2

1. Create an EC2 instance with the required configuration.
2. SSH into the EC2 instance and install Java and Maven.
3. Clone the repository on the EC2 instance.
4. Build and run the application on the EC2 instance.

Deploy to AWS ECS

1. Create an ECS cluster.
2. Create a Dockerfile for the application.
3. Build and push the Docker image to Amazon ECR.
4. Create an ECS task definition and service.
5. Deploy the application using the ECS service.

CI/CD with GitHub Actions

1. Create a .github/workflows directory in the repository.
2. Add a GitHub Actions workflow file to build and deploy the application.

Example workflow file:

name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Set up JDK 17
        uses: actions/setup-java@v2
        with:
          java-version: '17'

      - name: Build with Maven
        run: mvn clean install

      - name: Deploy to AWS EC2
        run: |
          # Add deployment steps here

CI/CD with AWS CodePipeline

1. Create a CodePipeline in the AWS Management Console.
2. Add source, build, and deploy stages to the pipeline.
3. Configure the pipeline to use the repository and build the application.
4. Deploy the application to EC2 or ECS.
