Fargate.chat
A simple Slack-like chat app built with Node.js and Vue.js and deployed using Amazon Web Services, running in Docker containers in AWS Fargate.
Features:
- No EC2 instances. One of the goals of this application architecture is that it is very hands off, nothing to manage or update.
- Fully defined as infrastructure as code, using AWS CloudFormation to create all the application resources.
- CI/CD Pipeline using AWS CodePipeline, so that you can just push to the Github and it will automatically deploy.
- Automated Docker container builds using AWS CodeBuild
You can view a running copy of this app, deployed on AWS at: fargate.chat
