Demystifying deployments as a service
summary
Explains how Netlify-style deploys actually run: initialize build container, install deps, build, deploy, cleanup, post-process, with rollbacks via cached artifacts. Shows a working app, Guardian Forge, built with GitHub Actions, AWS SAM, S3 + CloudFront, Route 53, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and SQS. Demonstrates branch-based preview environments and asynchronous post-processing via SQS that creates OG images and indexes to Algolia; the pipeline is implemented, repeatable, and used in production.
