Deploy an Application and Database within 3 environments (Production, Staging, Dev)

This ready to use example show you how to deploy a containerizes app (Strapi) with PostgreSQL on AWS in Production, Staging and Dev and make it accessible via HTTPS. All of that in just a few lines of Terraform file.

Behind the scene

Behind the scene, Qovery:

  1. Creates 3 Kubernetes clusters (Production, Staging, Dev) on your AWS account (VPC, Security Groups, Subnet, EKS/Kubernetes...)
  2. Creates Qovery resources:
    1. Organization Terraform Demo
    2. Project Strapi V4
    3. Environment production
    4. Database strapi db (RDS) for Production
    5. Application strapi app for Production
    6. Environment staging
    7. Database strapi db (RDS) for Staging
    8. Application strapi app for Staging
    9. Environment dev
    10. Database strapi db (Container with EBS) for Dev
    11. Application strapi app for Dev
    12. Inject all the Secrets and Environment Variables used by the app for every environment
  3. Build strapi app application for Production, Staging and Dev environments in parallel
  4. Pushes strapi app container image in your ECR registry for Production, Staging and Dev environments in parallel
  5. Deploys your PostgreSQL database for Production (AWS RDS), Staging (AWS RDS) and Dev (Container) environments in parallel
  6. Deploys strapi app on your Production, Staging and Dev EKS clusters
  7. Creates an AWS Network Load Balancer for all your clusters and apps
  8. Generates a TLS certificate for your app for all your apps
  9. Exposes publicly via HTTPS your Strapi app from Production, Staging and Dev through different endpoints

It will take approximately 20 minutes to create your infrastructure and less than 10 minutes to deploy your application for each environment.

How to use

⚠️ Make sure you have increase your AWS VPC Quota to at least 20. Otherwise, you will risk having failed cluster deployments since every cluster runs on a dedicated VPC.

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Sign in to Qovery
  3. Install the Qovery CLI and generate an API Token with this guide.
  4. Generate your AWS credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) with this guide
  5. Open you terminal and run the following command by changing the values:
export TF_VAR_aws_access_key_id=YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
TF_VAR_aws_secret_access_key=YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
TF_VAR_qovery_access_token=YOUR_QOVERY_API_TOKEN \
TF_VAR_qovery_organization_id=YOUR_QOVERY_ORG_ID

If you use this template in production, beware that you have some values to change in variables.tf

  1. Clone my Strapi application
  2. Edit the main.tf file and change https://github.com/evoxmusic/strapi-v4.git with yours
  3. You can now run the Terraform commands
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
  1. Open your Qovery console to find out the HTTPS URL of your deployed app.
  2. To tear down your infrastructure and avoid unnecessary cloud costs you can run terraform destroy.
