Quickstart

Prerequisites

• Active AWS account
• Local development environment setup for AWS, AWS CDK and Docker

Steps

1. Clone the repo,

git clone https://github.com/vizeit/GraphQLServer-Container-AWS.git

2. Create a virtual environment

$ python3 -m venv .venv

3. After the init process completes and the virtual environement is created, you can use the following step to activate it

$ source .venv/bin/activate

4. Once the virtual environment is activated, you can install the required dependencies

$ pip install -r requirements.txt -r ./GraphQLAPI/requirements.txt

5. Run unit tests for GraphQL API and AWS CDK

pytest

6. At this point you can synthesize the CloudFormation template for this code.

$ cdk synth

7. After successful synthesize, bootstrap the stack

cdk bootstrap

8. Deploy the stack to your AWS account

cdk deploy

9. Once the deployment is complete, copy LoadBalancerDNS and launch it in a browser to load GraphQL playground
