Monolith to micro services demo

Monolith to micro services demo

A React front end and a monolithic API.

Local testing

Start the front end locally

cd frontend 
npm install 
cp config.json.DEFAULT config.json
npm start run

Start the monolith api locally

Assuming pipenv is installed :

cd monolith-api 
pipenv shell
pipenv install 
python api.py

Remote Deployment

Frontend

I am using Amplify console, connect it to my github repo and let it deploy the app. Amplify console gives an url like https://main.dld2lvjirxlja.amplifyapp.com (this is an example)

To do

• automatic deployment of the monolithic api version to EC2
• document the demo end-to-end

Done

• add config.jsonin frontend to connect to backend
• amplify console to host to deploy the front end (manual)
• add microservice cart with SAM

Thank you

• the front end is largly inspired from the work of my colleague Gunnar Grosch
• to the numerous people asking and answering questions on stackoverflow.com. This knowledge base is so important to me to learn, improve, and correct my mistakes.
