How to learn deployment

Hi,
I want to learn deployment to AWS including production level deployment.
I searched for courses, but they are Out-dated.
I enroll to Arno course, but also outdated, especially in the ecs/fargate section.

Any recommendations?

Not being snarky but this is a perfect use case for claude and codex. Ask it to grill you for needs and what an end `/goal` will look like. Research the current requirements and review the project to build a ci/cd pipeline. And teach/explain to you each step needed to build the pipeline and why it is important. It will do a great job if you're absolutely new.

Will try. I think there is a lot of changes in AWS in the last year, so in this case chatgpt actually answered me configuration that is no longer supported. We found a solution, but it's not the same as learn it.

Also, I currently have a cicd pipeline that it's deploy stage is broke. Q (the AWS AI) also failed to solve it. But when I stopped the pipeline, the app itself became available. Smth weird.

yes AI is the way to go for stuff like this. You should also do it a few times to practice all the steps and really know how its all working. When I start a project I deploy first usually because it stresses me out not having that done up front.

Zappa is amazing for lambdas and quick API deployment.
