A little background to show from where it comes the question. I'm a developer with a little devops knowledge. So I'm struggling in finding the right tools to start "my own platform".
So I what would consist the platform:
- React app for the front(I read its possible to containerize it).
- Some gateway(Kong my option for now).
- I'm not sure if I need a CDN to cache calls/images?.
- Load balancing for the front traffic(nginx??).
- Some proxy(nginx too??).
- A backend on JVM/GraalVM based, I'm not sure if this is relevant as it will all be containerized.
- MongoDB and Redis.
- CI/CD not for now I plan to do it manually for the moment, later I will add Jenkins or similar.
- Terraform, I'm not thinking for now on it.
So I would like some recommendations for the requirements, its ok to be generic I'll dig on all of them.
Then the tricky one, what could be the cloud provider to play with all of that, if its for free better or atleast with a trial period and low costs if the traffic is low or none. I don't mind to combine providers(not sure if possible due to CORS).
Its a personal project and I can't have my computer 24/7 ON.And I will like to do it to improve my devops knowledge.
