Now that I can develop and test my [Micronaut](https://micronaut.io) Java service in my browser, in the cloud, the next step is automating deployment to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

I followed the guide on [Github for building and testing with Java Gradle](https://help.github.com/actions/language-and-framework-guides/building-and-testing-java-with-gradle)
and combined it with a community action for [Beanstalk Deployment](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/beanstalk-deploy). 
The result is quite straightforward. (ping me if you have a tip for handling the version better)
