This repository contains a full-stack MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) application deployed using modern DevOps tools and practices. The application is containerized using Docker, hosted on Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and orchestrated with Kubernetes. For traffic routing and scalability, we use Ingress Controller and a Load Balancer.
This project is designed to be a 3-Tier Application Architecture and follows best practices for containerized application development and deployment.
- React Frontend: A responsive, single-page application built with React.
- Node.js Backend: A robust backend API using Express.js.
- MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing application data.
- Kubernetes Orchestration: Managing application containers efficiently using Kubernetes.
- Dockerized Services: Each layer of the application is containerized with Docker.
- Ingress Controller: For routing external traffic to the Kubernetes services.
- Load Balancer: Ensures high availability and fault tolerance.
- Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR): Securely stores Docker images.
- Frontend (React) → Containerized React app deployed on Kubernetes.
- Backend (Node.js) → Express.js API containerized and managed as a Kubernetes service.
- Database (MongoDB) → MongoDB instance containerized and orchestrated with Kubernetes.
- ECR → Docker images are pushed to Amazon ECR for secure storage.
- Ingress Controller & Load Balancer → Handle routing and distribute traffic efficiently.
