Graphql-engine: docs: add deploying guide on aws fargate

[shahidhk]

AWS Fargate is a service to run containers without managing servers or clusters. Since Hasura is just a docker image, it can be deployed to Fargate easily.

The guide can be added at https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/deployment/deployment-guides/index.html.

It'll be great if the Postgres setup can be on Amazon RDS. Should have updating and setting access key instructions.

Hy I want to work on this issue but can you please guide me how to get docker image of graphql-engine

[shahidhk]

Hi @moulikcipherX. Thanks for your interest. You can find the docker image here: https://hub.docker.com/r/hasura/graphql-engine

The latest release is hasura/graphql-engine:v1.0.0-alpha22.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

[aggmoulik]

Do I have to write a script for it or just the steps to do that?

[shahidhk]

@moulikcipherX Detailed steps would be enough.

But, if you can provide a script, that'll be great too. We can add it to install-manifests

You can work on the detailed steps first. Then if time permits you can add the script too.

[aggmoulik]

Hello Sir,
I am a bit confused as I deployed on AWS Fargate but I want to know that Fargate should show UI thing like making graphql-queries

[shahidhk]

@moulikcipherX Can you elaborate?

[aggmoulik]

I am having a problem in deploying to Fargate as it takes many things in consideration which makes me less understandable.
So I need some more time for it.

[shahidhk]

@moulikcipherX Sure. Take your time.

[aggmoulik]

I can not find the Environment Variables for connecting database and script for the migration of the database.

[shahidhk]

@moulikcipherX Have you provisioned an Amazon RDS instance?

[shahidhk]

@moulikcipherX Did you manage to figure this out?

Any other takers?

[aggmoulik]

yeah I almost completed it and I will update the documentation as soon as possible...

[theharshitgarg]

@shahidhk I would like to take some.

[coco98]

@shahidhk Not sure what the latest on this is.
@emerballen on discord has been doing a tonne of work with fargate, rolling out hasura version updates, and rolling out schema updates; maybe they can help us put this together.

[shahidhk]

Hi @emerballen, it'll be awesome if you can contribute the cloudformation templates, we can keep them under https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/tree/master/install-manifests

Hey @shahidhk @marionschleifer is this still available? If yes - I'm willing to help. Thanks!

[marionschleifer]

@kabirbaidhya sure, go ahead. Please read through the comments above and here: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/pull/762#issuecomment-506188397 🙂

[kabirbaidhya]

Sure. Will do. I'll take the reference from the above shared links before writing the new guideline.

Also, please do let me know if there are any specifics that are to be included besides what are already covered in the links above. Thanks!

[marionschleifer]

@shahidhk do you have anything to add? 🙂

[henkesde]

Hey guys,

I need something similar right now as well since I'm working on IaC with CloudFormation for all resources in AWS like VPC's, LoadBalancer, Fargate, RDS, ..
Some things are not clear to me yet since I'm new to ECS and Fargate as well. Would be nice if you could share something already @kabirbaidhya . 🙂

[kabirbaidhya]

@henkesde Mine isn't complete yet and I need to fully test the steps before I can post it. Also, I haven't used cloud formation yet - just trying to run it on fargate.

For now you can refer to the above shared links - they use terraform but apart from it things are similar for fargate.

• https://github.com/Rayraegah/terraform-aws-hasura

[MartijnHarmenzon]

@kabirbaidhya Did you achieve to create a guideline? Or are the above links still the best out there?

[kabirbaidhya]

@MartijnHarmenzon I tried it out on my own with fargate and tested it. But I haven't worked on the guidelines yet as I got occupied after a while. Yes - the links above can still serve you if you want to try.
