Hello there (ʘ‿ʘ)╯
This post is part of a short series you may prefer to read chronologically.
Preface
Chosing what will compose a stack is both a matter of experience, opinion and timing.
Experience helps identifying what will stick, but opinion has a major role in the final chosing.
As of timing, what seems to be a good idea at the time, may be compromised by a lack of maintainers goodwill or vision a year later.
So by no means is the LOLstack The Perfect Stack™️. Now that's out, let's cover what it has to offer.
TL;DR: Enough with the stalling, Access the good stuff
What you'll get
An App, an API, a Database and all of the in-between that make an App and its stack work.
The tech stack
| Category | Tech used |
|---|---|
| Mobile app that targets iOS, Android & the web | React Native Expo |
| Design system for a component-based, modular & consistent design | Eva Design UI Kitten |
| Typing for a type-safe runtime & auto-generated interfaces | TypeScript |
| Database with both relational and unstructured data | PostgresQL |
| GraphQL API autogenerated from the database schemas | PostGraphile |
| RESTful API autogenerated from the database schemas | PostgREST |
| Custom RESTful API for implementing server-side specific needs | ExpressJS TypeScript |
| Authentication flow for handling sign-up and sign-in | JSON Web Token |
| Role-based permissions for a granular and low-level security | PostgresQL |
| Containers for services isolation and reproducibility | Docker |
| Job queue for handling asynchronous tasks | Graphile Worker |
| Job scheduler for running repetitive automated tasks | ofelia |
| Web proxy with SSL certificate handling, access logs | traefik |
| Admin interface for accessing & manipulating the data directly | pgweb adminer |
| Unit testing for ensuring that code is functional | Jest plpgunit |
| Status page to communicate outage and downtime to customers | Cachet |
Some of these choices are questionable? Please drop a comment, and let's ? discuss 'em softly :)
Don't leave just yet!
Feeling overwhelmed? Don't. That was the boring part.
Now is the good part, as booting this stack is just a copy-paste away:
git clone git@github.com:codename-co/stack.git && cd $_
docker-compose up
? Installing Docker first would be a good idea by the way.
Open source
The LOLstack boilerplate is open source.
This is great news to you right now for your ? crazy app idea.
Happy crafting!
