We've done quite a bit with Clojure apps on AWS. Haven't used CodeDeploy and CodePipeline, though. We do it all with CloudFormation.

jeff.terrell: code.pipeline with jenkins?

I mean it still can't into another CI tools

@lowl4tency: Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking. We haven't done CI with CloudFormation, but I don't think it would be that hard. Just build an uberjar, upload to S3, then update your stack to point to the new uberjar location, and CloudFormation takes care of all the particular updates.

jeff.terrell: I meant code pipeline.

I don't know much about CodePipeline, sorry.

jeff.terrell: i use CircleCI with cloudformation, it's not so hard

Nice, good to hear.

jeff.terrell: I've got a simple script which uploads my templates and files to s3 and runs updates of stacks

It all run from CircleCi with simple push to github repo

That sounds pretty nice, kudos.

We haven't had frequent enough updates to need something like that, but maybe when we do I'll ask you a few questions.

Just I use nested stacks and a lot of cloudformation::init functions

W/o the automation it would be terrible for manual work

speaking of AWS, does anyone know why a jar will work on port 8080 (or what have you) locally but never on EC2? running curl localhost:8080 just has connection refused
