This is the first official release of Up Pro, which includes a number of improvements over the open-source version for production applications. If you’re unfamiliar with Up, it’s a tool which helps you manage and deploy serverless apis, apps and websites in seconds to your own AWS infrastructure. In short: it’s the easiest way to deploy Node.js, Golang, Python among others to AWS, and can cost as little as $1/mo to run or in some cases free.

Many Apex Up users have been asking about integration with continuous integration platforms, this post walks through staging and deploying Up to production using Semaphore CI.
