At this stage, you should have a solid idea of how serverless components in AWS work together to form applications with serverless architectures. In the previous chapter, we introduced a framework that will accelerate iterations of your applications by allowing the developer to be quick. The Serverless Framework gave us a way to reduce the complexities of our deployment environments and focus on writing quality function code that holds the business logic. 

The next step is to reduce the burden of testing, deployments, and rollbacks even further by introducing an automated pipeline that can take your projects and promote artifacts through a software development life cycle. 

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Using serverless development pipelines
• Understanding deployment patterns
• Introducing AWS services
• Building a pipeline
