Matt Layman: Add Static Assets to Deployment - Building SaaS #29

In this episode, we pushed CI built static files to S3, then pulled those files into the Ansible deployment. This is part of the ongoing effort to simplify deployment by moving work to CI. Last time, we processed static files like JavaScript, CSS, and images using webpack on Circle CI. Once the files were processed, I used the tar command to create a tarball (i.e., a .tar.gz file) that contains all the static assets.
