Architecture
ConfigStore
A microservice built to store tenant and solution configuration to be shared accross services and accounts. Built with Terraform infrastructure as code, AWS DynamoDB, CodePipeline and Lambda with Python.
Architecture
Solution Setup Pipeline
A microservice built to automate the setup of NewRelic monitors, manual test users, environment specific sub domains, and event configuration. Triggered by a config update event from ConfigStore. Built with Terraform infrastructure as code, AWS serverless and Python.
Infrastructure
This site was built on the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack, containerized by Docker, and deployed on a Kubernetes Cluster in AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service. Frontend and backend nodes are replicated across availability zones and scale automatically. All infrastructure is defined as code in Terraform.
Source Code
Deployment
Designs for an automated CodePipeline triggered by a GitHub commit. For a larger project, a test pipeline would initially run and be verified in a test account. There may also be optional manual approval steps. Currently, the project can be deployed manually by applying the Terraform changes and running the build/deploy scripts to update the Kubernetes containers.
