Automatic deployment on code change
In this section, we will introduce a change to app, and see how AWS App Runner automatically identifies the change to our code, and builds and deploys the new version.
Edit a template
Browse to https://github.com/[YOUR_GITHUB_USER]/repostatus-gh-demo/edit/main/templates/repo.html to get a browser editor. You should see something similar to the below
Let’s change the appearance of our app by making the text bold, wrap the text in the template with
<b> and </b>, so that you end up with <b>This is the page for repostiory: {{ repo.repo_slug }}, contains data: {{ repo.data }}</b>
Click Commit changes.
Validate the deployment
Shortly after commiting the changes to your repository, AWS App Runner will start a new deployment activity. Go to Services -> apprunnerworkshop-app in the AWS App Runner console.
And you should see a new activity related to the change you just introduced.
When the status of our apprunnerworkshop-app service changes from Operation in progress to
Running, we can have a look at our changes by browsing to https://[DOMAIN_HERE]/repo/[YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME]/repostatus-gh-demo,
where we should now see the text in a bold font.
