Server for lean-chat
Go to dash.deno.com, make an account etc.
Click 'new project' and get the new project to point at main.ts in this repo.
That should be it.
I chose to use dynamo because it seemed sufficiently cheap if the amount of data is low and I have used it before. There are probably better choices, eg just having a server running somewhere with a sqlite file. Following the setup given in this tutorial.
Our first step in the process is to generate AWS credentials to programmatically access DynamoDB. Generate Credentials:
Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/ and go to "Users" section. Click on Add user button, fill the User name field (maybe use "lean-chat") and select Programmatic access type. Click on Next: Permissions, then on Attach existing policies directly, search for AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess and select it. Click on Next: Tags, then on Next: Review and finally Create user. Click on Download .csv button to download the credentials. Create database table:
Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/dynamodb and click on Create table button. Fill the Table name field with
lean-chatand Primary key withid. Scroll down and click on Create. That's it.
