In this project, will take a newly developed full stack application and deploy it to a cloud service provider so that it is available to customers. This application contains the main components of a 3-tier full stack application (UI, API, and Database).

I did the following:

• Configure the services and infrastructure on AWS
• Create scripts to deploy each component of the application
• Create and document an automated pipeline using CircleCI

➡ Node v14.15.1 (LTS) or more recent. While older versions can work it is advisable to keep node to latest LTS version

➡ npm 6.14.8 (LTS) or more recent, Yarn can work but was not tested for this project

➡ AWS CLI v2, v1 can work but was not tested for this project

➡ A RDS database running Postgres.

➡ A S3 bucket for hosting uploaded pictures.

git clone https://github.com/FADL285/Hosting-a-Full-Stack-Application.git

Here are the environmental variables that needs to be set in a .env file.

This is the default setting that you can use for development.

POSTGRES_USERNAME=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD="YOUR_POSTGRES_PASSWORD"
POSTGRES_HOST=127.0.0.1
POSTGRES_DB=postgres
JWT_SECRET="YOUR_JWT_SECRET"
AWS_BUCKET=""
AWS_REGION=""
AWS_PROFILE=default
