My name is John Nguyen. I was born and raised in Berlin and I am currently working as a freelance Fullstack Engineer. I started my career in web development in 2013 with the LAMP stack and mainly used jQuery for a long time. Later, I got dragged into companies cloud migration where learned Serverless development, CI/CD pipelines and DevOps methods. Fast forward to now, and I am a Fullstack Engineer with expertise in Cloud Engineering on AWS, Platform Engineering, and Fullstack Development.

Building a sophisticated CodePipeline with CDK in a Monorepo Setup
Many companies are going all-in AWS and thus adopting their complete CodeSuite for their CI/CD processes. However, while CodePipeline is the platform for this process, it may not be the most user-friendly. In a Monorepo setup, it's typical to create multiple CI/CD pipelines for each package. However, there are several caveats to be aware of. For instance, you may encounter scenarios where multiple pipelines get triggered even if you just modified one file, or you may question the need to create multiple branches for each pipeline. In this talk, we provide valuable tips for building a sophisticated CodePipeline using CDK in a Monorepo environment. The techniques discussed in this talk are also transferrable to other CI/CD tools.
