CircleCI launches improved AWS support
We’ve dedicated the last year to developing orbs - reusable code snippets that simplify project configuration and make it easy to set up third-party integrations. We have added a new orb that leverages the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), an open-source framework for building serverless applications. The orb provides the first simplified integration between a CI pipeline and AWS Lambda, and lets you automatically test updated Lambda functions on your CI/CD pipeline before rolling them out to users. This integration allows developers to maximize efficiency and minimize build times when testing and delivering their AWS Serverless applications.
AWS orbs provide an efficient solution that can save you hours of time setting up integrations yourself. Our most popular integrations have been used over 4.7 million times to help teams build and test software on their AWS services - directly from their CI/CD pipeline. To learn more about our latest AWS orbs check out our recent announcement post.
New UI available for opt-in testing
Test out the new UI early, and explore detailed workflow graphs, full-screen step outputs, and more. Our fully redesigned UI brings pipelines to the forefront of the user experience - making it easier to view the status of your build, test, and deploy processes across all of your projects. To give it a try, click ‘Opt In’ from the job details page - you can revert back to the old UI at any time during this testing phase by clicking on ‘Old Experience’ in the sidebar. Please submit your feedback on the pop-up form in the bottom right of your job details page - we welcome your suggestions!
Detailed rundown of config optimizations
As the year draws to a close, teams increasingly focus their time and attention on optimizing their processes. In an effort to provide the gift of efficiency this holiday season, Solutions Engineer, Vinny Thanh, put together a list of optimizations that can help you speed up your builds on CircleCI - with config examples included for each optimization. Read the blog post to learn more.
