Sample Node.js+MongoDB Beanstalk

This sample demonstrates how to setup continuous integration and deployment for a Node.js+MongoDB project deployed using Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. Additionally, it shows how to deploy different branches to separate Elastic Beanstalk environments.

Two approaches are available for handling deployment to multiple environments:

1. Use eb use <env name> command to associate your current branch with some environment. Then, copy .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml file as config.yml. You can also edit config.yml file manually. For example, to associate prod branch with sample-nodejs-env-prod, add the following entry to your config.yml file:

    branch-defaults:
      ebcli-v3:
        environment: sample-nodejs-env
      prod:
        environment: sample-nodejs-env-prod
   

Now, whenever eb deploy command is executed while the current branch is prod, it will automatically push the designated environment.

2. Pass the environment as an argument to eb deploy command in your after_success block. You can choose the correct environment based on the value of the Shippable-supplied BRANCH variable:

    - >
      if [ $BRANCH = 'prod' ]; then
        ENV='sample-nodejs-env-prod'
      else
        ENV='sample-nodejs-env'
      fi
    - eb init && eb deploy $ENV

This sample is built for Shippable, a docker based continuous integration and deployment platform.
