GOOFEAT-BACK

This repository contains Terraform code for deploying a backend application on AWS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• An AWS account
• Terraform installed on your machine
• AWS CLI configured with access credentials

Note for Nix users: If you use Nix, you can run nix develop in the project root to enter a development environment with Terraform.

Infrastructures

• Backend Application on AWS: Deploys a backend application using AWS ECS, ECR, and other services.

Backend Application on AWS

This infrastructure deploys a backend application using Amazon ECS, ECR, and other AWS services. The setup includes creating an ECR repository, ECS cluster, task definitions, and configuring a CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline for automated builds and deployments.

Components

• ECR Repository: Docker container registry for storing backend application images.
• ECS Cluster & Service: Container orchestration service to manage and scale the backend application.
• CI/CD Pipeline: Automates the build, test, and deployment phases using AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild.

Deployment Steps

1. Clone the repository.

2. Navigate to the /app_infra directory.

3. Set your AWS environment variables:

   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIA...
   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=abcd...
   export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

4. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

5. Apply the Terraform configuration:

   terraform apply

Variable Configuration

The infrastructure requires specific variables to be set. Refer to the variables.tf file in each directory for the required values. Configure these variables according to your AWS environment and project requirements.

Cleanup

To remove the deployed resources, run the following command in the respective infrastructure directory:

terraform destroy
