How to build the app and integrate it to the pattern

We'd like to implement dynamic review environments for our project on an AWS infrastructure so we started to play around with your pattern @DarwinJS.

We have been able to get the environment working on AWS (http://cloudform-elasticl-1iawvgoat3nvj-1019110646.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com/) pretty easily. We made some little adjustments to make it work within our Gitlab project but nothing major.

Right now the instance is displaying the default HTML provided when creating the infrastructure through CloudFormation. Unfortunately, we are struggling to get our app actually deployed to the instance.

With Auto DevOps, we can provide a Dockerfile used during the build step or we can also use the build_artifact job to build our Vue.js application.

But here we are a bit lost. We tried to combine Auto-DevOps with your pattern but so far we were not able to make it work.

What would be the different options to be able to build and deploy our own app? Could we use CodeDeploy easily for example?

Maybe you have an example of a project that uses the pattern that could help us.
