Watch the YouTube Tutorial

Stack

Backend: Node.js, Typescript, MongoDB, Kubernetes

Frontend: Next.js, Typescript

DevOps: Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, Google Cloud

Usage

Recommended OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Requirements: Docker, Docker Compose, Yarn, Node.js

Optional: Terraform, Google Cloud SDK

Setup

• make setup
• Create GitHub OAuth app here
  • Set "Homepage URL" to http://localhost:3000
  • Set "Authorization callback URL" to http://localhost:3000/github
  • Set GITHUB_CLIENT_ID in .env.development
  • Set NEXT_PUBLIC_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID in client/.env.development
  • "Generate a new client secret"
  • Set GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET in .env.development

Development

• make client (Start Next.js development server, http://localhost:3000)
• make backend (Start development backend services)

Codebase

Services

• client Next.js client (web application)
• api Node.js server (http api)
• realtime Node.js server (websocket server)
• shared Typescript lib (shared code)
• infrastructure Terraform (configurations to deploy application in the cloud)

Deployment

Commands

• make init-infrastructure (Initialize Terraform)
• make apply (Apply cloud resources, ~15 minutes)
• make deploy (Build and deploy services to Kubernetes cluster)
• make destroy (Destroy cloud resources)
• make client-image (Build and push client Docker image)
• make api-image (Build and push api Docker image)
• make realtime-image (Build and push Docker image)

Step by step guide

1. Configure variables in Makefile
   • GCP_PROJECT You can create a project here
   • TF_BUCKET Choose a unique bucket name for Terraform state
   • EMAIL Only used for generating SSL certificates
   • GKE_ZONE Choose a region or zone from this list for your Kubernetes cluster
   • DOMAIN
2. Sign into your project gcloud auth application-default login
3. Create the bucket for storing Terraform state (make create-terraform-bucket)
4. Set terraform.backend.bucket in infrastructure/main.tf to TF_BUCKET
5. Insert secrets into Google Cloud Secret Manager
   • GitHub OAuth (create here)
     • Set "Authorization callback URL" to https://api.${DOMAIN}/github
     • github_client_id
     • github_client_secret
   • Secrets (generate here)
     • refresh_token_secret
     • access_token_secret
   • MongoDB Atlas (create a free cluster here)
     • Navigate to Project Settings -> Access Manager -> API Keys -> Create API Key -> Select Project Owner
     • mongodbatlas_public_key
     • mongodbatlas_private_key
     • atlas_project_id (found under Settings)
6. Add 0.0.0.0/0 to your MongoDB Atlas project "IP Access List" (Under Network Access)
7. Enable Container Registry in your GCP console
8. make init-infrastructure
9. make deploy
10. Go to Google Cloud DNS, main-zone, copy the NS record to your domain registrar
11. Uncomment code block in infrastructure/modules/kubernetes-cert-manager/main.tf and run make apply
12. The app should be live at https://${DOMAIN}

• Every time you want to deploy changes, just run make deploy
