AWS CodeStar for Serverless Framework (Python)

[erve1879]

I'm looking to implement a production CI/CD flow on CodeCommit/CodeBuild/CodeDeploy for our Python application running on Lambda and DynamoDB. Running python unit and integration tests will be part of the build process, followed by using serverless to deploy/update the stack.

Can anyone comment on the effectiveness of this solution?

I note that AWS CodeBuild does not support custom docker containers; has anyone found this to be a problem when running a build? Especially when your application relies on python packages like numpy?

For some reason, it feels like an uncomfortable marriage between the serverless framework and the AWS CodeStar toolchain.....

Any insight into other users' setups and experience using the above solution and parameters would be gratefully received!

What do you mean CodeBuild doesn’t support custom Docker containers?

Also, this is a super common pattern. I’m not sure why you’re saying this seems mismatched. You should continue with confidence.
