CI/CD for Static Sites
Every PR gets its own preview URL. An AWS-powered deployment template for static sites: S3, CloudFront, GitHub Actions, and Cypress E2E testing wired for production and pull-request environments.
Preview, ship, and verify.
- PR preview environments
- Each pull request deploys to its own CloudFront path or subdomain, so reviewers see the real build instead of guessing from screenshots.
- S3 and CloudFront
- Static assets on S3, served through CloudFront with cache invalidation as part of the deploy flow.
- GitHub Actions pipeline
- Build, deploy, and test from Actions. Production on main, previews on PRs, without a separate hosting control plane.
- Cypress E2E testing
- Run end-to-end checks against the deployed environment, including waiting for CloudFront invalidation when that matters.
Static sites deserve real deploy hygiene.
This is the same pattern Artificer Innovations uses for this site: PR previews for review, production deploys on merge, and E2E tests against the live CDN rather than only a local build.
Fork the template, point it at your static output, and get a shipping workflow that matches how teams already review pull requests.
Built for review and release.
- S3 + CloudFront static hosting with automated invalidation.
- Per-PR preview URLs for design and content review.
- Cypress E2E against deployed environments, not just localhost.
The same pipeline that ships this site.
PR previews, CloudFront invalidation, and E2E against the live CDN are how Artificer Innovations reviews and releases static work. The template is that discipline, packaged for reuse.
