Deployment documentation

[schonert]

Hey there!

I've been looking around for some documentation or guides on how to go about deploying a nexus@next app to production. It might be that I'm simply not adding two and two together and that there's a straight forward way that I'm not seeing.

With the deployment documentation still on the todo and the assumption that I might not be the only one looking for this - I thought we might stitch together some common principles in this discussion. This could work as a temp solution and hopefully ease the urgency for the deployment documentation and free up some time for more pressing issues.

The format
When you don't know what you don't know - all you need is a direction. No need for original in-depth content if someone has already covered this.

Topics

• deploy as serverless (lambda, now, cloud functions etc.)
• deploy as serverfull (ec2, droplet, heruko, etc.)
• pros/cons (cold start, sessions, configuration, time vs cost etc.)

Hi. I am deploying nexus on DO droplet.

This is my Makefile

include prisma/.env
export

all: introspect generate
deploy: build send run

ssh:
	ssh root@${SSH_IP}

mysql:
	${DATABASE_CMD}

introspect:
	npx prisma introspect

generate:
	npx prisma generate

clean:
	rm -rf .nexus node_modules .tmp

build:
	npx nexus build
	cp docker-compose.yml Dockerfile .nexus/build
	cp .env .nexus/build/.env

send:
	rsync -aHAXxv --numeric-ids --delete --progress -e "ssh -T -c aes128-gcm@openssh.com -o Compression=no -x" .nexus/build/. root@${SSH_IP}:/root/emulex

run:
	ssh root@${SSH_IP} 'cd /root/emulex && docker-compose build && docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d'

To recreate application data model from database I am using:

make all

To deploy

make deploy

My Dockerfile

FROM node:10
COPY . .
CMD ["node", "api"]

and docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
