In today’s cloud-first world, deploying websites efficiently and quickly is crucial. Serverless architecture offers an ideal solution by removing the need for managing servers and providing a scalable, cost-effective approach. This session will focus on deploying a static website using **GitHub Actions** for automation and **Amazon S3** for hosting.

### Why Serverless?

Serverless architecture allows developers to build and deploy websites without worrying about server management. Instead, cloud providers like AWS handle infrastructure, letting us focus on delivering features. This makes serverless perfect for static websites, offering scalability, security, and high availability without the hassle of traditional hosting.

### GitHub Actions and S3 – A Perfect Pair

**GitHub Actions** automates the entire CI/CD pipeline. It enables you to automatically test, build, and deploy code as soon as changes are pushed to your repository, eliminating manual deployment steps. Paired with **Amazon S3**, a scalable and reliable storage service, you can host your static website with ease, leveraging AWS’s global infrastructure to ensure fast load times and high uptime.

### What You’ll Learn

In this hands-on session, we’ll walk you through setting up an **S3 bucket** for hosting a static website, including configuring public access and managing permissions. Then, we’ll create a **GitHub Actions workflow** to automatically deploy the website to S3 whenever code is updated. You’ll learn how to:
- Set up an S3 bucket for static website hosting.
- Automate deployment with GitHub Actions using a YAML configuration.
- Trigger deployments based on code changes.
- Securely store AWS credentials in GitHub Secrets.

### Key Takeaways

This talk will give the attendees a practical experience in building a fully automated deployment pipeline, drastically reducing manual overhead. By the end, they'll have deployed your own serverless website and understand how to streamline future deployments. I’ll also cover security best practices and tips for optimizing build times.

### Conclusion

By using **GitHub Actions** and **Amazon S3**, serverless website deployment becomes seamless and automated. This powerful integration into the projects, allowing them to focus on building, not managing infrastructure.
