Elastic Container Service We have reached the final part of this series. In this post we will be configuring the ECS cluster. ECS consists of 4 different layers. The innermost layer consists of the container definition. Containers are run as tasks, which requires a task definition. The task definitions are kept running by a service.
Creating an application using the Laravel framework The Laravel framework will be used to validate the interoperability of the infrastructure created by Terraform. The steps are similar for any LAMP, LEMP and other similar applications. I have used simple/straight forward codes to showcase the functionality. Please use necessary abstraction so that code outlives the application.
Backing services Any service which the application consumes over a network can be termed as Backing services. The easiest examples are MySQL database, S3 object storage, Redis in-memory datastore, SES for sending emails etc. The important factor about backing services is that we can swap the backing services depending on our needs i.e. we can
The next step is to create the VPC and ALB. VPC VPC, short for virtual private cloud, allows you to launch AWS services in a logically isolated virtual network. We start by creating a file called variables.tf that will hold variable values of the application. Fill the file with the following content: variable “app_name” {
Introduction Terraform is an open source infrastructure as code(IaC) software tool. We will be using Terraform for creating AWS infrastructure. We can collaborate effectively when we configure the infrastructure using code and commit to our version control systems. We can also execute reviews/suggest new approaches for configuring certain tasks. Additionally, we can spin up new
When I started programming web applications, I focused on a very small userbase. As I gained experience, the application userbase expanded too. In the process, I had to unlearn many concepts as well. I was forced to think of high availability, zero downtime deployments, and a large number of database read/writes etc. These lessons were
I shall start with two laws written 40+ years ago about software evolution by Lehman & Bélády: Law of continuous change: Any software system used in the real-world must change or become less and less useful in that environment. Law of increasing complexity: As a system evolves, its complexity increases unless work is done to
PHP frameworks like Laravel aren’t built to handle real-time applications. Hence, we integrate & transfer this responsibility to another application which excels in it. Socket.io is the de facto choice at LiteBreeze for developing real-time, bidirectional and event-based communication. To understand real-time broadcasting, please visit our three-part series which documents the steps of utilizing WebSockets
