Case Study: Online Healthcare Course Provider achieves self-service Slack-triggered AWS deployments with QASource

Trigger Deployment at Ease by Using Slack and AWS CLI Commands

Online Course Service Providing Company engaged QASource to give developers, QA, and associated teams the freedom to trigger deployments without relying on DevOps. The client needed a simple, easy-to-manage mechanism because users currently had to log into the AWS console to run CodeBuild jobs, remember multiple runtime environment variables, and maintain separate AWS accounts per engineer. QASource proposed a Slack-triggered deployment using AWS CLI and AWS services.

QASource implemented the solution using CloudFormation to provision infrastructure, a Node.js Lambda stored in S3, a private Slack channel with the AWS Chatbot, and the ability to execute AWS CLI commands from Slack. The result: channel membership now controls authorization, removing the need for individual AWS accounts and console logins; DevOps dependency for deployments is greatly reduced; and QA/dev teams can run the CI/CD pipeline without deep AWS expertise.
