How to Set Up a CI/CD Pipeline With FastAPI, AWS, and Semaphore

In an era of competitive markets, businesses must rapidly release product updates to maintain customer loyalty, leading to the adoption of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CI/CD) practices. CI/CD automates the build, test, and deployment phases of software development, reducing time and human error while ensuring consistent and reliable feature delivery. The article details setting up CI/CD pipelines using Semaphore and AWS Elastic Beanstalk with a FastAPI project, demonstrating automating tests and deployments triggered by changes to the main branch in a GitHub repository. It highlights the use of tools like YAML files to define pipelines, blocks for tasks, and promotions for linking pipelines, ultimately showcasing how CI/CD enhances software development efficiency by providing a structured, automated method for deploying code seamlessly across environments.
