Zephyr Archaeotech Emporium Online Store - Data Infrastructure

This is the source repository for Pulumi code to manage the data infrastructure supporting the online store for Zephyr Archaeotech Emporium. It's used in Pulumi's Zephyr series of blog posts to discuss best practices when using Pulumi to manage infrastructure and applications.

Deploying with Pulumi

Prerequisites

To deploy this infrastructure with Pulumi, you need to:

• have the Pulumi CLI installed, and ensure you are signed into a backend;
• have NodeJS installed; and
• have the AWS CLI installed and configured for your AWS account.

Dependencies

This project has a dependency on the base infrastructure managed by the Pulumi code in the zephyr-infra repository. You will need to have created a stack from that project and run a successful pulumi up before starting here. You will also need to know the organization name, project name, and stack name for the stack that manages the base infrastructure. All of this information can be obtained by running pulumi stack ls in the directory where the zephyr-infra project resides.

Instructions

Follow these steps to use this Pulumi program to create the data infrastructure for the Zephyr online store:

1. Clone this repository to your local system (if you haven't already).
2. Run npm install to install all necessary dependencies.
3. Run pulumi stack init <name> to create a new stack. For the smoothest, experience, use the same stack name here that you used with your zephyr-infra stack (see the Dependencies section).
4. Set your desired AWS region with pulumi config set aws:region <region-name>.
5. (Optional) Use pulumi config set to set values for baseOrgName, baseProjName, and baseStackName. These configuration values correspond to the organization, project, and stack where the base infrastructure was deployed. Unless you know you need specific values here, the default values are typically sufficient (the code will default to using your current organization, your current stack name, and the project name "zephyr-infra").
6. Run pulumi up.

NOTE: You'll see Pulumi.test.yaml and Pulumi.prod.yaml stack files in this repository. These are here for illustrative purposes (to tie back to the Pulumi blog series) and will not impact your ability to use the steps above unless you use a stack name of "test" or "prod" for your stack.

This Pulumi project deploys two Aurora clusters, each with three database instances. You can view the database endpoints for these clusters using pulumi stack output after a successful pulumi up run.
