Infrastructure Project

This repository contains code that sets up a Terraform-managed infrastructure comprising of an ECR, ECS, and RDS pivotal in deploying and managing a Go Restful API.

Infrastructure Overview

This project is designed with efficiency and scalability in mind.

• ECS Cluster: This the core of the infrastructure handling a service that manages numerous tasks. Each task encompasses a container dedicated to running the Go Restful API.
• Load Balancer: Ensures even distribution of incoming requests across tasks, optimizing response times and resource utilization.
• PostgreSQL Database: Provides robust data storage for the Go Restful API, ensuring data integrity and quick access.

How to Deploy Infrastructure

Makefile deprecated

• In your terraform cloud account at acccessible at app.terraform.io create an organization and workspace see the following documentation for more information.

• Navigate to Variables > Add variable. Add 3 workspace variables with the category, environment for AWS credentials environment variables, and terraform category for ecr_repo_name.

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  • ecr_repo_name

  These workspaces variables are required for the terraform.yml workflow to run.

• Manually trigger deploy.yaml workflow or tag commit with version format v*.*.*,to create build artifact to be used by ECS.

• When done Queue destroy plan. On terraform cloud, navigate Projects & Workspaces > [YOUR WORKSPACE] > Settings > Destruction and Deletion > Manually destroy
