deploy directly from Bitbucket to AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Question

How do I deploy my latest bits (in this case a nodejs app) from Bitbucket to the AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

I want to avoid doing a git aws.push from my local system since that pushes the entire repo which can be painfully slow in low bandwidth scenarios.

What I would like is to be able to commit my changes locally then push to Bitbucket. Then trigger a deployment from Bitbucket to the Elastic Beanstalk deployment.

any help would be appreciated. I'd love to avoid having to sign up for a third party service just to do this but if that's necessary, I'd welcome recommendations

Only the first git aws.push is full. All the others are incremental.

However, it poses an interesting question. Here are a few ideas:

• Host your own CI/CD service, like Jenkins or Drone (FWIW, I wrote the Jenkins AWSEB Deployment Plugin

• Use a cloud service. I recommend Codeship (free), but Drone.io and Travis (free for Public Projects) are also good picks

• Write a Bitbucket Hook to do it itself, and host on Iron.io (like I incidentally made with mirrormirror-go
