AWS CDK: Blue-Green Deployment with ECS Fargate and CodeDeploy
Deploy with Zero Downtime. Roll Back in Seconds. Sleep Better at Night.
Stop gambling with production deployments. This isn't another toy example — this is production-grade Infrastructure as Code you can deploy today.
What You Get
✅ Complete AWS CDK TypeScript project - Ready to deploy, fully commented, production-ready code
✅ Automated blue/green deployments - Zero-downtime releases with AWS CodeDeploy
✅ Step-by-step testing workflow - Real commands you'll actually use in production
✅ Manual traffic control - Test new versions before switching production traffic
✅ 5-minute rollback window - Instant revert if issues are detected
✅ Automation scripts - Bash scripts to streamline your deployment workflow
Why This Tutorial is Different
No fluff. No theory. Just working code.
- Production-grade architecture: ALB with dual listeners (prod + test), Blue/Green target groups, ECS Fargate with CodeDeploy controller
- Real-world deployment flow: Complete workflow from task definition changes to traffic switching
- Practical testing approach: Test on port 8080 before switching production traffic on port 80
- Error handling included: Actual errors you'll encounter and how to fix them
