Step By Step Instructions

1. This project assumes the existence of a domain hosted on Route53 and with SSL certificates for both the region of your service and US-EAST-1.
   1. Get a domain on AWS
   2. Create a hosted zone on Route53
   3. Create two HTTPS Certificates
      • One for your region e.g. eu-west-1
      • One for cloudfront which must be us-east-1
2. Deploy 00-infra.yml to create code bucket, certificate, and email alerts.

   •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./00-infra.yml --stack-name infra --region=eu-west-1  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM --parameter-overrides 
       RootDomain=t3chflicks.org 
       RegionalCertArn=arn:aws:acm:eu-west-1:855097409413:certificate/73255636-c96a-4170-b86d-10261b5e3c0a 
       HostedZoneId=ZFRPCPYMXP38T 
       CloudFrontCertArn=arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:855097409413:certificate/196cda25-d956-415e-b4b6-423342b9657d
     

3. Deploy 01-vpc.yml to create vpc

   •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./01-vpc.yml --stack-name vpc
     

4. Deploy 02-tables.yml to create user and product tables

   • aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./02-tables.yml --stack-name tables
     

5. Deploy 03-user-manager.yml and use your own Stripe parameters to create a State Machine
   • Package AddPlan lambda and upload to bucket - the bucket name should be ~ s3://infra-codebucket-...

   •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./03-user-manager.yml --stack-name user-manager --region=eu-west-1  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
     

6. Create Stripe Account
   • get test API keys
7. Create Stripe products using extra/StripeScripts/syncProducts.py
   • using new secret test key
   • using product table name exported from previous step.
8. Deploy 04-congito.yml to create the user pool and post confirmation functions using Stripe params

   •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./04-cognito.yml --stack-name cognito --region=eu-west-1  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM --parameter-overrides 
       StripeSecretKey=sk_test_51HKlevJAV1tclqKuuFvkoHoOoygiavnUNDet2HXnyXd2bsNVCzvxkW2bNAA8HivobXs5idcpa5VCzK0b90wub2h100rsOtHlun
     

9. Deploy 05-user-api.yml to create the user api and create functions

   •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./05-user-api.yml --stack-name user-api --region=eu-west-1  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM --parameter-overrides 
       StripeSecretKey=sk_test_51HKlevJAV1tclqKuuFvkoHoOoygiavnUNDet2HXnyXd2bsNVCzvxkW2bNAA8HivobXs5idcpa5VCzK0b90wub2h100rsOtHlun
     

10. Create Stripe web hook using extra/StripeScripts/createWebHook.py
    • use WebHookAPIUrl + endpoint
11. Deploy 06-stripe-api.yml to create webhook api
    • add Stripe Secret key
    • add Stripe web hook Secret

    •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./06-stripe-api.yml --stack-name stripe-api --region=eu-west-1  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM --parameter-overrides 
        StripeSecretKey=sk_test_51HKlevJAV1tclqKuuFvkoHoOoygiavnUNDet2HXnyXd2bsNVCzvxkW2bNAA8HivobXs5idcpa5VCzK0b90wub2h100rsOtHlun  
        StripeWebHookSecret=whsec_GJx2kmziA8JG3Cjs3EVVcRZzYaD5nsmz
      

12. Deploy 07-test-service.yml as an example service running on the load balancer which verifies the user request

    •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./07-test-api.yml --stack-name test-api --region=eu-west-1  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
      

13. Deploy 08-site.yml

    •   aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ./08-site.yml --stack-name site --region=eu-west-1  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM      
      

14. Add parameters to frontend/src/main.js
    • Root Domain
    • Region
    • UserApiUrl
    • TestApiUrl
    • CognitoUserPoolId
    • CognitoUserPoolClientId
15. Add parameter to frontend/src/views/Pricing.png
    • publishableKey from Stripe
16. Build
    • npm run build
17. Deploy to S3 bucket

    •   aws s3 cp ./dist s3://saas-app.YOUR_DOMAIN --recursive
