Robust CI/CD Pipelines for Serverless Applications
summary
Company runs about 1 billion Lambda invocations/month and uses AWS CDK to define infrastructure as code, with unit tests via jest and cdk assert, snapshot and validation tests, IAM linting and CFN guardrails, and cdk aspects to enforce policies. CI runs lots of jobs in parallel, creates dynamic preview environments per branch, writes end‑to‑end checks using the AWS SDK against deployed stacks (use CDK outputs file), and deploys pre‑prod before production.
