Lecture: DevOps - application

This repository contains the application that should be used as deployable workload in the exercise implementation.

Getting started

For more information regarding the app, please have a look into its README.

The Makefile is the main entry point for this repository. It's meant to be used for documentation purposes and local development/invocation only. The following commands are available:

make install-stack

• install technology stack (nodejs, npm, mongodb) locally within the project
• in order for the application-related targets to pick up these binaries, the PATH variable is adjusted and exported for the corresponding target

make install-deps

• install npm dependencies for server and client

make build

• start a local mongo database

make run-db

• start a local mongo database

make run-local

• start server with development configuration
• file watcher enabled

make test-local

• run client tests

make test

• run client tests in CI mode (exits regardless of the test outcome; closed tty)
• run server tests in CI mode (exits regardless of the test outcome; closed tty)

Notes

• the Makefile shows how to interact with the code base, it is not recommended to invoke make targets from the CI/CD, but rather use automation-specific interfaces (e.g. Jenkinsfile, .travis.yml, etc.).
