A Django application to test the CI/CD pipeline

This repository contains the source code for the Django application that is designed to work in conjunction with the AWS CDK Django infrastructure project.

This application is basically an application that calculates Fibonacci numbers using a background task setup with Celery.

Prerequisites

Before getting started with this project, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Docker (https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
• Docker Compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

Some Main Files:

• buildspec_{env}.yml: The build specification file for AWS CodeBuild. It defines the build steps and environment for building the Django application.
• Dockerfile: The Dockerfile for creating the Docker image of the Django application and Celery service.
• nginx/Dockerfile: The Dockerfile for creating the Docker image of the nginx server.
• docker-compose.yml: The Docker Compose file for running the Django application locally along with its dependencies (e.g., database).
• .env: The environment file containing environment variables for the Django application, incase you want to run the application locally. (Have a look at the .env.example. file for a referrence and create an .env file yourself).

Integration with AWS CDK Django Project

Before using this repository, make sure you have already built and deployed the infrastructure using the AWS CDK Django project. The AWS CDK project provisions the necessary AWS resources to deploy this Django application. Once the infrastructure is ready, try making changes in the develop and master of this project to test the pipeline and the deployment.

This Django application is basically an application for calculating Fibonacci numbers, it includes a background task setup with Celery to perform the Fibonacci calculation.

Running the Application Locally:

To run the Django application locally using Docker and Docker Compose:

1. Modify the .env file to configure the environment variables for the Django application. Update the variables with your own values.
2. Run the following command to start the application:

docker-compose up -d

This command will start the Django application and its dependencies (e.g., database and Celery worker) defined in the docker-compose.yml file. 3. Access the application in your web browser at http://localhost:8000/fibs/.
