Set Up a Web App in the Cloud

Good morning, Fam! 🌞 It’s an amazing week to dive into learning and launching cool projects in the cloud. On this journey, we’re kicking off a new mini-series on Devops Sounds cool, sindio?

My weekend was pretty eventful too — I spent some time learning more about faith and the meaning of true religion. Let’s all take a moment to reflect on what brings us peace and purpose!

Now, back to tech! Here are a few key terms we’ll explore in this project:

1. CI/CD — Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment
2. VS Code — Visual Studio Code, or VSCode, a popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for coding projects
3. Apache Maven — A build automation tool for Java projects
4. Amazon Corretto 8 — A distribution of the OpenJDK for running Java applications

Our project involves just 7 steps, and each one is packed with learning opportunities. Let’s dive in!
