AWS Codebuild Run Build

Abstract

1. Introduction

This action runs a [AWS CodeBuild][codebuild] [project][codebuild project] as a step in a GitHub Actions workflow job.

The action builds the CodeBuild project, collects the build logs, and prints them as they are written. The user experience is the same as it would be if the logic were executed in the GitHub Actions job runner.

This action offers following inputs that you can use to configure its behavior. The only required input is project-name.

2. Objective

Run an AWS CodeBuild project as a step in a GitHub Actions workflow job.

This project demonstrates how JavaScript, AWS, Serverless can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.
