Module 1: Deploy Green Boost Template App

Welcome to Module 1. In this module you will deploy a Green Boost web app starting from the Aurora PostgreSQL Template.

Learn

1. Read through the Overview docs.
2. Review the Green Boost Project Board (opens in a new tab) to see what's on the road map.

Apply

M1.1 - Deploy the Aurora PostgreSQL Template.

1. Follow prerequisites.
2. Run below commands:

pnpm add -g gboost
pnpm env use --global 18 # optional - ensure Node.js 18 is used
gboost create # select CRUD Aurora PostgreSQL template
cd <your-directory>
pnpm i
cd infra
pnpm deploy:local

M1.2 - Resources & Constructs

While you're waiting (~20 minutes) for your CloudFormation stacks to deploy, checkout the resources in each stack being deployed. What resources are there? Which resources map to which constructs within the infrastructure code that gboost create generated? See infrastructure code in infra/src/app/**.

M1.3 - Visit Web App

View your newly deployed web app at the CloudFront URL printed by the pnpm deploy:local command.

• Your UI stack created an output with the CloudFront URL that will look something like: myapp5stickbui9C39A55A.CloudFrontDomainName = d1q16n5pof924c.cloudfront.net which contains the URL.

M1.4 - Monitor Dashboard

View your CloudWatch Monitoring Dashboard in the AWS Console. Which resources are being monitored? What thresholds were set for alarms?

M1.5 - Scan Code

Review the other folders generated by gboost create. You'll be working more with them in the next modules.
