Simple Serverless Maven Full CD application

This is a simple example to demonstrate how to implement a serverless application using this fully managed aws codepipeline template: https://github.com/MatthewSilverstein/cloudformation-pipeline

The CD pipeline will:

1. Detect changes in GitHub
2. Build changes and run unit tests
3. Deploy changes to Alpha
4. Run integration tests against Alpha
5. Deploy changes to Beta

Setting up the pipeline

1. Install awscli and setup aws account
2. Create a GitHub repository and push this application to it
3. Get an access key for GitHub repository with privileges: [admin:repo_hook, repo]
4. In commandline:

aws cloudformation deploy --template-file cloudformation-pipeline.yaml --stack-name <stack-name> --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM --parameter-overrides \
 GitHubUser=<username> \
 Repo=<repo> \
 Branch=<branch> \
 GitHubToken=<github access token>

Testing

Running unit tests:

mvn clean test

Running integration tests:

mvn verify -DargLine="-Dstage=alpha" -P integration-test

(change stage to whichever stage you want to run integration tests against)
