Spend a two days exploring containerization, deployment, and other modern DevOps techniques.

Key Takeaways

By participating along with us in the workshop, you'll learn:

  • Learn how to package and run a fullstack application using Docker for consistent deployments.
  • Build a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions that automatically builds, tests, and ships your app to AWS.
  • Use Terraform to provision and manage scalable AWS infrastructure across environments.
  • Experience how deployment strategies shift across Startup, Growth, and Enterprise phases, adapting to scale and complexity.
  • Deploy to AWS with load balancing, logging, and security best practices that mirror real-world production environments.

Is This Workshop for Me?

For software developers, DevOps engineers, and platform teams who want practical, hands-on experience deploying real applications to AWS using modern tools like Docker, GitHub Actions, and Terraform.

Workshop Details

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll follow the lifecycle of a monolith application as it evolves from a startup to enterprise rollout. You’ll manually deploy the app to AWS, then progressively build out a full CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and push images to Amazon ECR. You’ll learn to provision and manage cloud infrastructure with Terraform, deploying to AWS for scalable, fault-tolerant service hosting. You’ll implement security best practices, automate infrastructure changes, and explore real-world deployments through the path of a growing software company. By the end, you’ll have practical experience deploying modern applications the way successful engineering teams do it in production.

Any Prerequisites?

  • Fundamental knowledge of Docker
  • Experience using Git and GitHub
  • Basic understanding of AWS
  • Command-line experience
