AWS via Flightcontrol

Flightcontrol is a platform that fully automates deployments to Amazon Web Services (AWS). For more information on Flightcontrol's capabilities, you can visit their docs.

Connecting to a git repository

Flightcontrol offers a GitHub integration, leveraging its continuous development actions.

To get started with Flightcontrol's GitHub integration, you'll first need to log in or sign up to the Flightcontrol platform. After you're logged in, simply link your GitHub account to Flightcontrol.

Once connected, Flightcontrol will take care of the rest. It automatically detects any new pushes to your specified GitHub branches and builds your project. The build process uses the commands in your package.json file and adheres to the settings that you have configured in Flightcontrol. No additional setup is needed.
