How to set up multi-account AWS SAM deployments with GitLab CI/CD

Forrest Brazeal, an experienced cloud architect and AWS Serverless Hero, outlines a comprehensive guide on deploying serverless applications using AWS SAM and GitLab CI/CD. He emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to deploying serverless applications across multiple AWS accounts to maintain security and separation of environments like development, staging, and production. The guide details setting up cross-account IAM roles, creating an S3 bucket for CI artifacts, and configuring the GitLab CI/CD pipeline, which includes stages for testing, building, and deploying serverless applications. Brazeal highlights the use of dynamic feature branch deployments and Review Apps for efficient parallel development, as well as the need for manual intervention before code release into production. The article provides a step-by-step approach to automating AWS deployments, demonstrating how to integrate tests, builds, and deployments into a GitLab repository to securely roll out SAM-defined serverless applications. Interested readers are encouraged to try the process themselves using a sample AWS News application provided in the GitLab repository.
