The painful journey of painless deployments

As a developer you are usually more concerned about writing software. You might even experience joy when testing software. But deploying software is another story.

When you don't have the luxury of an experienced dev ops team, chances are that you as a developer might have to take matters into your own hand and deploy your software. And all of a sudden you'll be the dev ops guy, cause you are spending more time deploying than actually developing software. What a nightmare!

Unfortunately this turned out to be true for my team. That's obviously not a good situation, especially when you're a small dev team:

- 1 CTO - 1 Sr. Software Engineer - 1 Jr. Front End Developer

You just don't have the luxury of spending time for manual deployments of your applications and services.

The solution described in the article is a guide to a git commit -> deploy to AWS Elastic Beanstalk && Docker Hub solution for your different environments.
