PoC/Prototype/Spike for easy deploys.
Use best-of-breed tools instead of reinventing wheels.
- Terraform can do infra deployments.
- Traefik can help in roll-outs
- Native database migrations.
- Elixir glue.
We define apps in Elixir, then have Terraform snippets generated (yay for Terraform just hovering up anything it sees in the current dir) and that gets applied.
We stay somewhat close to the Terraform model: a Project is the whole top level thing, which probably later on can have one or many applications but for now it's a single flat thing with a set of Resources that define where code lives, what providers to use, etc. These resources are deployed to one or more Environments (staging, production, things like that).
A Deployment is a Terraform thing. We step through all the resources and let them generate Terraform code snippets in a temporary directory, then drop existing state (if available) there and run Terraform. Once done, we import the state back into the deployment - we hand it back to the resources to get parsed and converted into ResourceState records, which are essentially a database version of Terraform outputs for quick access.
Deploy this code with itself.
Add a section to ~/.aws/config:
[profile mds]
sso_start_url = https://metrist-software.awsapps.com/start
sso_region = us-west-2
sso_account_id = 304682015423
sso_role_name = AdministratorAccess
region = us-east-2
You really want to use direnv to make use of the included .envrc file - it
sets some important things and keeps your machine clean.
