In this project, we've put together a backend web application built with Flask that connects to a MongoDB database. We utilize Nginx as the web server for serving the application. The project demonstrates the entire DevOps cycle, including development, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Web Application | Built using Flask as the foundation, leveraging its lightweight web framework capabilities. |
| Data Storage | Managed by MongoDB, a versatile NoSQL database, ensuring efficient and flexible data management. |
| Continuous Integration (CI) | Facilitated by GitHub Actions, automating the initiation of end-to-end tests upon pull request submission to main. |
| Testing | Utilizes Postman scripts to implement automated end-to-end tests, generating comprehensive reports upon completion. |
| Deployment | Entire environment, once validated, can be deployed onto a server, offering consistent and controlled deployment. |
| Web Server | Nginx serves as the web server, enhancing application delivery through its reverse proxy and static content capabilities. |
| Monitoring & Log Collection | Application's Nginx logs are collected, analyzed, and sent to Elasticsearch, providing valuable insights for monitoring. |
| Dashboard | Kibana is employed to craft an informative real-time dashboard, offering insights into application performance and status. |
