Project Overview

This project involves deploying a backend environment for an online orders system on AWS using Terraform. It includes the setup of an EKS cluster, DocumentDB for database needs, ECR for Docker image storage, and essential networking infrastructure within a VPC.

Prerequisites

  • Terraform: v0.12.x or later
  • AWS CLI: Configured with administrator privileges
  • kubectl: Configured to interact with Kubernetes
  • Docker: For managing Docker containers

Deployment Instructions

  1. Initialize Terraform:

  2. Plan the Deployment:

  3. Apply the Configuration:

  4. Verify Deployment:

    • Check the AWS Console to confirm that all resources are created successfully.
    • Use kubectl to verify the Kubernetes cluster functionality.

Docker Build Process

The Docker build process involves creating a Docker image that contains the Node.js application, ready to be deployed in any environment that supports Docker containers.

Dockerfile Configuration

The Dockerfile is configured to:

  • Use the official Node.js LTS (Long-Term Support) image as a base.
  • Install necessary packages and dependencies outlined in package.json.
  • Set the MONGODB_URL environment variable to connect to Amazon DocumentDB.
  • Expose port 3000 for communication with the Node.js application.
FROM node:lts
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
ENV MONGODB_URL="mongodb://username:password@docdb-endpoint:27017/dbname"
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "index.js"]
