For this tutorial, we're going to learn more about cloud computing by exploring
|
|
|
|
|
how to use Pulumi to build, configure, and deploy a real-life, modern
|
|
|
|
|
application using Docker. We will create a frontend, a backend, and a database
|
|
|
|
|
to deploy the Pulumipus Boba Tea Shop. Along the way, we'll learn more about how
|
|
|
|
|
Pulumi works.

## Sample app
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The sample app we're building, the Pulumipus Boba Tea Shop, is a progressive web
|
|
|
|
|
application (PWA) built with MongoDB, ExpressJS, React, and NodeJS (the MERN
|
|
|
|
|
stack). It's a fairly common implementation found in eCommerce applications. We
|
|
|
|
|
have adapted this application from
|
|
|
|
|
[this repository](https://github.com/shubhambattoo/shopping-cart). The app
|
|
|
|
|
consists of a frontend client, a backend REST server to manage transactions, and
|
|
|
|
|
a MongoDB instance for storing product data.

## About this pathway
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This pathway discusses using Pulumi to create infrastructure, configure that
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure, and push your infrastructure to production.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For this pathway, we will use Docker to let you learn the basics of Pulumi
|
|
|
|
|
without a cloud account. We will explore creating a Pulumi Project, building
|
|
|
|
|
Docker images, and configuring and provisioning containers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's get started!
