Dependencies and CodeArtifact

Salut! In this guide, we’ll build on our previous projects and explore AWS CodeArtifact.

New Terms to Know:

1. CodeArtifact: Think of AWS CodeArtifact as a private storage locker for backing up all your web app’s dependencies.
2. Domain: In AWS CodeArtifact, a domain is like a large folder that helps you organize your project materials into smaller folders.
3. Public Upstream Repository: This is a publicly available repository where you can source packages for your project. AWS CodeArtifact can pull dependencies from this repository, allowing you to use open-source libraries and tools.
4. Compiling: Compiling translates your project’s code into a language that computers can understand and execute.

Steps We’ll Cover:

1. Set Up Your Web App and Git Repo (Projects 1 and 2 of this series)
2. Create Your Domain and Repository
3. Connect to the CodeArtifact Repository
4. Test Your CodeArtifact Connection
5. Set Up an IAM Policy for Using CodeArtifact
