The deployed architecture is built using CloudFormation scripts.

AWS Cloud Deployment Infrastructure

QA & Automated Test

As an open-source project, we need to support a wide range of developers at different skill levels and familiarity with the system. As a developer yourself you would like to find the project easy to understand, fix bugs and add new features. To do that the code needs to be of high quality, easy to read and understand and covered by automatic tests. This will help us maintain a low bug count and low technical debt.

So please do not submit code to the system that is not exercised by unit or functional tests - it will be left on the shelf.

Integration and Deployment

To be decided.
