• Typescript: React JS / Next JS / Express / GQL / Postgres
• run in a kubernetes cluster
• on Google Cloud

I tried to add nice features that would be good to have when starting an arbitrary react webserver project. I based this on my own experience of developing apps for many different companies and clients. Most people will agree a good webserver has many features which I will summarize below

1. Performant and reliable

• the server should serve responses quickly and be reliable under load
• performance should be equally fast across regions

2. Scaleable

2. Easy to work on - features should be easy to build, test and iterate on

1. Stock starters are a bit lame

Ideally a web server should be scalable to

1. Webserver - Next.js

• Server-side rendering, tree shaking, CSS optimization out of the box
  • Build pipeline
    • Webpack
    • -> tree shaking [next.js]
    • -> CSS optimization [purgecss],
    • -> Docker container
• Dev environment
  • Local: run dev server directly on host machine with node
  • Kubernetes: run locally with minikube and deploy to GKE

• Uses Terraform, Docker and Kubernetes - Infrastructure as code, horizontally scalable

• Advanced local dev - fully loaded with everything you need to start executing from day 1

  • Dockerized DB managed with typeorm - reliable db

• Framer motion

This is a basic repository designed to be a good jumping off point into an early project.

1. Frontend / Webserver - node js process uses next.js with express
2. Containerization - docker wrapper and kubernetes setup for minikube and gcloud kubernetes cluster
3. Storage - Google cloud storage, CloudSQL Postgres (coming soon)
4. Infrastructure - gcloud managed with terraform backend

1. node js
2. gcloud
3. docker
4. kubectl
5. minikube
6. terraform

You will learn about: node js, react, babel, graphql, express

By the end of the tutorial you will cover the 58 initial files in this repo and understand what each one is about.

1. Clone the repository
2. yarn install. This will install a lot of things but they will (mostly) be worth it. Heck I don't know....you be the judge.

1. Run a local postgres database using docker yarn db:local:start

2. The server/entity contains the typeorm models for the app. You can update these depending on your needs

3. yarn typeorm-migration-generate

4. typeform-migration-run

5. yarn dev
