CI/CD for spring boot in AWS

Published on 15 Sep 2026

Explanation

CI/CD automates the process of building, testing, packaging, and deploying a Spring Boot application whenever developers push code changes.

Code:

Git Repository
      |
      v
Build
      |
      v
Test
      |
      v
Package
      |
      v
Deploy to AWS

Explanation

AWS CodePipeline coordinates the different stages of the software delivery process.

Code:

AWS CodePipeline
  ├── Source
  ├── Build
  ├── Test
  └── Deploy

Explanation

AWS CodeBuild can compile the Spring Boot application and execute automated tests.

Code:

mvn clean test
mvn package

Explanation

A buildspec.yml file defines the commands used by AWS CodeBuild during the build process.

Code:

version: 0.2

phases:
  build:
    commands:
      - mvn clean package

artifacts:
  files:
    - target/*.jar

Explanation

After a successful build, the generated application artifact can be deployed to EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, ECS, or another AWS service.
