The Modern Development Environment

TLDR; This repository is in association with the "Modern Development Environment" talk

Architecture

Setup

⚠️ OIDC configuration instructions are not included below. I highly recommend following the official documentation for this part

Create the app

Don't forget replace all placeholders, like :value

# Create repository in an organisation
gh repo create --internal :org/the-microservice

# Clone repo locally
gh repo clone :org/the-microservice

# Create a basic README file and initialise the repository
echo "# The Microservice" > README.md
git add .
git commit -S -m "Add README.md"
git push -u origin main

# Go to the repo
gh repo view --web

# BROWSER: Create a new codespace

# Connect to codespace from local VSCode
gh cs list
gh cs code -c :name

# Create an index.js file and write a simple web server
#!/usr/bin/env node
/**
 * Web server listening on environment variable PORT and defaults to 8080
 * the webserver should expose the following endpoints:
 * - GET /
 *   - Response: 200 with the following body: <h1>Hello World!</h1>
 * - GET /api/v1/data
 *   - Response: 200 with the following body: { data: [1,2,3,4] }
 * - default
 *  - Response: 404 with the following body: <h1>404</h1>
 */

const http = require('http');
const port = process.env.PORT || 8080;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  // Get the ip address of the requester
  const ip = req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || req.connection.remoteAddress;
  // Log the request
  console.log(`${ip} ${req.method} ${req.url}`);
  // Respond to the request
  const url = req.url;
  const method = req.method;
  switch(url) {
    case '/':
      res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
      res.end('<h1>Hello World</h1>');
      break;
    case '/api/data':
      res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
      res.end(JSON.stringify({
        message: 'Hello World',
        ip: ip,
        method: method
      }));
      break;
    default:
      res.writeHead(404, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
      res.end('<h1>404 Not Found</h1>');
  }
});

// Start the server
server.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}`);
});

# Test
curl -G http://localhost:8080

# Push the changes
git add .
git commit -S -m "Add web server implementation"
git push -u origin main

Create the app service

# Install azure-cli
curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

# Authenticate azure-cli
az login

# Configure OIDC secrets on the repo
gh secret set AZURE_TENANT_ID \
  -R :org/the-microservice \
  --body $(az account list --query "[0].tenantId" --output tsv)

gh secret set AZURE_CLIENT_ID \
  -R :org/the-microservice \
  --body $(az ad app list --query "[?displayName=='github-actions'].appId | [0]" --output tsv)

gh secret set AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID \
  -R :org/the-microservice \
  --body $(az account list --query "[0].id" --output tsv)

# Create a new resource group
az group create --name ModernDevDemoRG --location westeurope

# Create the app service plan
az appservice plan create \
  --name the-microservice-plan-2022 \
  --resource-group ModernDevDemoRG \
  --location westeurope \
  --sku FREE \
  --is-linux

# List available runtimes
az webapp list-runtimes --os-type linux

# Create a web app
az webapp create \
  --name the-microservice \
  --resource-group ModernDevDemoRG \
  --plan the-microservice-plan-2022 \
  --runtime NODE:16-lts

# Get hostname
az webapp list --query "[0].defaultHostName" --output tsv

# Tests
curl -G https://the-microservice.azurewebsites.net
curl -G https://the-microservice.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/data
curl -G https://the-microservice.azurewebsites.net/something-else
