Cloud Resume

This is my iteration of Forrest Brazeal's cloud resume challenge. This project really tested my knowledge of AWS Services and integrating them. The manual point and click form was ready within a day. Infrastructure as code was the real challenge.

This is built using AWS as well as Terraform for Infrastructure as Code. This repo can also be used with any type of nextjs project, I have plans to make this into a template repository.

Infrastructure

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• Clone the repository and move into the frontend directory

  git clone https://github.com/palSagnik/crc-aws.git
  

  cd frontend/
  

• Install all the dependencies using yarn

  yarn install
  

• If you dont have terraform install it after reading the instructions below

  Install Terraform

Setting up Terraform with AWS

• Set up a hosted-zone using a domain bought from a Domain Registrar like (Namecheap, Hostinger) and replace their nameservers with the ones in Route 53. Then create a certificate for the same records.

  In a config.tf file, write down the details which must not be made public.

  terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.0"
    }
  }
  }
  
  provider "aws" {
    region = "us-east-1"
  }
  
  locals {
    s3_bucket_name      = "some unique name"
    domain              = "domain you bought"
    hosted_zone_id      = "ID of the Route53 hosted zone"
    cert_arn            = "arn:aws:acm:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    cloudfront_oac_name = "some name"
  }
  

And you are good to go.

Development and Deployment

• Run a development server in frontend/ and make changes as you like.

  yarn dev
  

• After that run ./init.sh and your ci/cd pipeline would start. If everything works out, voila now you have your own cloud resume.
• If there is any changes to the infrastructure, just run terraform apply to the new file and terraform would handle it.

Built With

• Terraform - Infrastructure As Code
• NextJS - FrontEnd
• AWS - Cloud Provider
