DigitalOcean migration – Critical Path

[guylepage3]

Description
We should be running each service on it's own instance so that we can utilize them across various products. Having said that, we need to pull out all back-end services out of web app, setup, run and test each service on their own instance (Digital Ocean), run the client (front-end) on it's own instance, then connect the back-end services to the front-end through API calls.

Goals
Pull out back-end services from current web app, have the back-end, the front-end running on their own instances and have them talking to each other on Digital Ocean.

NOTE: Execute in chronological order

Tasks

• @faddat #79 Review & decide which service splitting method is fastest - See "Server split examples" below for a great example on splitting up the back-end services. @guylepage3 @faddat decided to go with a individual services.
• @guylepage3 #77 Pull out Mailchimp Express server for DigitalOcean migration
• @guylepage3 #81 Pull out Nodemailer Express server for DigitalOcean migration
• @faddat #1 Setup Nodemailer server virtual machine on DigitalOcean
• @guylepage3 #1 Setup email subscriptions server virtual machine on DigitalOcean
• @guylepage3 #71 Refactor & move client (universe.engineering) to DigitalOcean
• @faddat @guylepage3 Wire up API's to new universe.engineering client
• @guylepage3 #67 Refactor & move web client (key management app) to DigitalOcean
• @faddat @guylepage3 Re-wire auth API to (key management app) client
• @faddat @guylepage3 Move name servers back to Google from DNSimple.
• @faddat @guylepage3 Setup DNS with DigitalOcean.

NOTE
@faddat Once all items in this issue are complete, write up findings and then close #56 Understand how to run node.js apps on VM's issue. Thx.

@faddat this should be a great start. I am moving over to my other tasks for the evening. Let's chat about things once you've finished Task 1.
