Microservices With Docker, Flask, and React

This document outlines a 7 part tutorial on building a microservices application with Docker, Flask, and React. In part 1, a RESTful API is created with Python, Flask, and Postgres using Docker. Part 2 adds testing and React to the client side. Part 3 implements authentication with JWT. Part 4 adds end-to-end testing and documentation. Part 5 deploys the application to AWS ECS. Part 6 adds a new Flask service for code evaluation with AWS Lambda. Part 7 refactors Lambda, adds type checking, and a new scoring service. The tutorial covers tools like Docker, Flask, React, AWS ECS, Lambda and many testing and dev tools.

Microservices with Docker, Flask, and

React
What will you learn?
Part 1
In this first part, you'll learn how to quickly spin up a reproducible development environment
with Docker to create a RESTful API powered by Python, Postgres, and the Flask web
framework. After the app is up and running locally, you'll learn how to deploy it to an Amazon
EC2 instance.
Tools and Technologies: Python, Flask, Flask-SQLAlchemy, Flask-Testing, Gunicorn,
Nginx, Docker, Docker Compose, Docker Machine, Postgres, Flask Blueprints, Jinja
Templates

Part 2
In part 2, we'll add code coverage and continuous integration testing to ensure that each
service can be run and tested independently from the whole. Finally, we'll add React along
with Jest (a JavaScript test runner) and Enzyme (a testing library designed specifically for
React) to the client-side.
Tools and Technologies: Code Coverage with Coverage.py, continuous integration (CI),
Node, NPM, Create React App, React, Enzyme, Jest, Axios, Flask-CORS, React forms,
Flask Debug Toolbar

Part 3
In part 3, we'll add database migrations along with password hashing in order to implement
token-based authentication to the users service with JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). We'll then
turn our attention to the client-side and add React Router to the React app to enable client-
side routing along with client-side authentication.
Tools and Technologies: Flask-Migrate, Flask-Bcrypt, PyJWT, react-router-dom, Bulma,
React Authentication and Authorization

Part 4
In part 4, we'll add end-to-end (e2e) tests with Cypress, form validation to the React app, a
Swagger service to document the API, and deal with some tech debt. We'll also set up a
staging environment to test on before the app goes into production.
Tools and Technologies: Cypress, Swagger UI

Part 5
In part 5, we'll dive into container orchestration with Amazon ECS as we move our staging
and production environments to a more scalable infrastructure. We'll also add Amazon's
Elastic Container Registry along with Elastic Load Balancing for load balancing and
Relational Database Service (RDS) for data persistence.
Tools and Technologies: AWS, EC2, Elastic Container Registry (ECR), Elastic Container
Service (ECS), Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Application Load Balancer (ALB), Relational
Database Service (RDS)

Part 6
In part 6, we'll focus our attention on adding a new Flask service, with two RESTful-
resources, to evaluate user-submitted code. Along the way, we'll tie in AWS Lambda and
API Gateway and spend a bit of time refactoring React and the end-to-end test suite. Finally,
we'll update the staging and production environments on ECS.
Tools and Technologies: AWS Lambda and API Gateway

Part 7
In part 7, we'll refactor the AWS Lambda function to make it dynamic so it can be used with
more than one exercise, introduce type checking on the client-side with React PropTypes,
and update a number of components. We'll also introduce another new Flask service to
manage scores. Again, we'll update the staging and production environments on ECS.
Tools and Technologies: AWS Lambda and ECS, PropTypes, and Flask
