Deploying a Microservices Stock Trading Application on AWS with Terraform, Kubernetes & Helm
- The author shares their experience of building a cloud-native stock data management system using Spring Boot and MySQL.
- After testing the application using docker-compose, they decided to deploy it on AWS EKS using Terraform, Kubernetes, and Helm.
- Infrastructure provisioning involved setting up the AWS environment with Terraform code, including EKS cluster, networking, IAM roles, Ingress controller, VPC, and more.
- After provisioning, the author configured kubectl for the EKS cluster, created and set the namespace, obtained the public IP of the Nginx Ingress Controller, and updated the application's Ingress configuration.
- Accessing the application was done through the frontend public FQDN, which directed to the application running behind Nginx Ingress.
- The author suggests exploring the code and experimenting with the API to interact with the stock trading graphs provided by the application.
- Security considerations were highlighted, emphasizing the importance of best practices like using environment variables, secrets management tools, and cloud provider-specific encryption solutions for database credentials.
- Additionally, the author mentions a bonus project where the deployed application was used to create Helm charts for further learning.
