We will be provisioning the majority of our infrastructure using Terraform. Terraform is an Infrastructure-as-Code tool that we can use to deploy our infrastructure in a repeatable and version-controlled way. There is an AWS-native IaC tool called CloudFormation, but we will be using Terraform in this project due to its agnosticity across multiple CSPs. Refer to the Terraform documentation.
On the infrastructure that we created, we will deploy a simple 'Hello World' Node.js application. About Node.js.
For the DNS service, we will be using CloudFlare in conjunction with AWS Route 53. What is CloudFlare?
