Bar Service Infrastructure

Overview

Bar Service Infrastructure using AWS and CDK. For details, see the project on github.

AWS CDK Infrastructure package that creates:

1. An ECS cluster in a multi-AZ VPC
2. An application load balanced Fargate web-service that runs on the above ECS Cluster
3. A CodeBuild spec that builds the web-service sources from Github and pushes to ECR repo
4. A CodePipeline pipeline with stages to build and deploy changes to the web-service

File organization

The infra sources are organized into the following files:

• package.json: Package dependecies for npm
• webServiceCluster.ts: ECS Cluster construct within a dual AZ VPC
• webservice.ts: WebService construct that defines an application load balanced fargate service
• webServicePipeline.ts: CodePipeline construct with CodeBuild from Github source
• webServiceStack.ts: Full web service stack that creates a cluster, web-service and a pipeline

Set up and deploy the resources from macOS

• Install Homebrew

  Download and install Homebrew:

  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

• Install nvm

  Install latest version of nvm:

  brew install nvm

• Install any version of Node

  Install latest version of node:

  nvm install node

  or any specific version of node:

  nvm install 14.17.6

• Install CDK

  Follow the instructions from AWS CDK Getting Started to configure your AWS account and install CDK

• Run a clean build

  Run a custom clean build command (installing dependencies is handled part of the command)

  npm run clean-build

• Deploy ECR Repo

  Deploy ECR repo to hold the containers for Bar Service Server

  cdk deploy repo

• Deploy Bar Server

  Note: Between the above step and this step, a valid server container image should be pushed to the ECR repository that was deployed above. Otherwise, there would be nothing to deploy on ECS.

  Deploy the bar service server to an ECS cluster Fargate Service backed by an Application Load Balancer.

  cdk deploy service
