Building a continuous deployment pipeline
with Terraform and Fastly

Demo repository for the talk Building a continuous deployment pipeline with Terraform and Fastly, first presented at Altitude Trek SF 2019.

In this session, you’ll walk through the process of creating a continuous deployment pipeline using Travis, Terraform, Fastly, and GitHub. We’ll introduce you to the core concepts needed to deploy a new version of your Fastly service via the API, as well as the benefits of automating this process. Along the way, you’ll gain practical, implementable tips and tricks for managing your infrastructure as code.
