set up deployment infra

jd2rogers2 commented 2 years ago

set up an initial POC of a deployed instance of our app ideally our nestjs app should serve our bundled react app from every non /api endpoint therefore only 1 instance (not FE and BE apps) this is just step 1, so we don't need different environments

consider performance, scaling, pricing

[x] FYI: staging is currently hosted on Azure web services. We might want to move to aws for production
[ ] Create org aws account - this may require digging into aws organizational units best practices. Let's keep is as simple as possible #216
[ ] Figure out IAM roles for now just one role for admins and maybe for cli things
[ ] POC deploy staging and roles

There is a way to serve SPA files from NestJS, is this what you are thinking?: https://docs.nestjs.com/recipes/serve-static

mhmm, i already set that up in https://github.com/Nonprofit-Exchange-Hub/web-app/pull/27 (but it's been a long time, not sure if it's still working)

but this ticket also includes making an AWS account and finding the right service/engine to host our app, then at least performing and documenting a rough process for deploying our app to that engine. and then outlining next steps
