A sample API that allows submitting and retrieving data; as well as logging event times. The /event endpoint supports POST requests; while /events can be used to retrieve all submitted events associated to a particular api key. (further details on testing can be found at the bottom of this document under Testing)

Note: The instructions assume an OSX machine with brew installed.

From an OSX machine's Terminal; launch the following commands:

  git clone https://github.com/helhindi/eventlogger.git &&cd eventlogger

  /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install ['aws-cli', 'terraform', 'skaffold'] by running:

  brew bundle --verbose

Assuming you've installed aws-cli (as shown above); init, authenticate and set compute zone interactively via:

  aws-cli init

Create a GCS bucket for TF state and initialise it:

  gsutil mb -l [REGION] gs://[BUCKET_NAME]
  terraform init -backend-config=bucket=[BUCKET_NAME] -backend-config=project=[GOOGLE_PROJECT]

  export TF_VAR_project="$(gcloud config list --format 'value(core.project)')"
  export TF_VAR_region="europe-west2"

Note: Verify the vars by running:

  echo TF_VAR_region=$TF_VAR_region&&echo TF_VAR_project=$TF_VAR_project

Also, enter your gcp_project_id and gcp_location in the /terraform.tfvars file.

Now specify an administrative account user=admin and set a random password:

  export TF_VAR_user="admin"
  export TF_VAR_password="m8XBWryuWEJ238ew"

  terraform init
  terraform plan

Once happy with the above plan output; apply using:

  terraform apply

Once the infrastructure is deployed; authenticate and connect to your cluster via kubectl and deploy your code using:

  skaffold run (or 'skaffold dev' if you want to see code changes deployed immediately)

Now to test the flask web service; run:

  curl localhost:8080/test

To test the postgres db; run:

  curl localhost:8080/test_db
