Deployment

Deploy

Build a Docker image

These steps require Docker (opens in a new tab) to be installed on your computer.

First you need to build a Docker image of your microservice:

cd /path/to/microservice
docker build -t dockerusername/your-microservice:version .

Don't forget to replace dockerusername, yourmicroservice and version by you Docker Hub (opens in a new tab) username, your microservice name and its version respectively.

Deploy with Terraform

These steps require Terraform (opens in a new tab) to be installed on your computer.

Once you have a Docker image of your microservice, you can use Terraform to deploy it with all its dependencies (databases, message queue, etc.).

  1. Copy terraform/env-example.tfvars to terraform/env.tfvars:
cd /path/to/microservice/terraform
cp env-example.tfvars env.tfvars

  1. Change deployment variables in terraform/env.tfvars as you need (don't forget to change app_docker_image).

  2. Deploy your microservice:

terraform init
terraform apply -var-file="env.tfvars"
