A sample application for AWS re:Invent 2019 sessions with Amazon ECR.

Dev environment setup

You will need node.js, version 10.3.+ or higher, and Docker

Then, Install the AWS CLI and Configure it. To get going quickly, use an administrator (but not root!) IAM account.

FInally, install the AWS CDK

npm install -g aws-cdk

Run the app locally

Clone the repo from Github, then set up the app's dependencies from its root folder

famous-peeps$ npm install

Test it out, make sure the tests pass and then quit the test scaffold

famous-peeps$ npm run test

Start it locally and after its up, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:3000/health, http://localhost:3000 and http://localhost:3000/movies

famous-peeps$ npm run dev

Build and run your container image

famous-peeps$ docker build -t docker-famous-peeps:latest .

famous-peeps$ docker run --init -i -p 3000:3000 docker-famous-peeps:latest

Create and configure your AWS infrastructure

Caution: Delete your AWS resources after you are done with the demo so you don't incur additional charges.

Create the AWS resources to deploy this app to. This assumes you have configured the AWS CLI with an administrator IAM user and chosen your default Region.

famous-peeps$ npm run deploy
