💠 Emblem Giving

Emblem Giving is a sample application intended to demonstrate a complex, end-to-end serverless architecture. It showcases serverless continuous delivery as a donation sample app hosted on Google Cloud.

This sample application is for learning purposes only. Real financial transactions are not made. The giving campaigns in the app are not real.

Features

This project features:

• 2-tier web application architecture with Cloud Run
• continuous delivery with Cloud Build
• Terraform deployment
• Example configuration and usage of the following Google services and apis:
  • Cloud Run
  • IAM
  • Secret Manager
  • Cloud Storage
  • Cloud Firestore
  • Cloud Build
  • Artifact Registry
  • Pub/Sub

Getting Started

Emblem is made of a combination of resources created and managed by Terraform and resources created via the Google Cloud CLI or Google Cloud Console. You may deploy Emblem by running setup.sh (see streamlined setup instructions).

Prerequisites

To deploy Emblem, you will need:

• 3 Google Cloud projects (ops, stage, prod) with billing enabled on each
• A fork of this repo

The machine that you will run the setup from will need the following installed:

• Google Cloud CLI
• Terraform
• Python3

We recommend running through setup steps using Google Cloud Shell, which has the required softare pre-installed. The following will open Cloud Shell Editor and clone this repo:

Streamlined setup

1. Connect a fork of this Github repo to your Emblem ops project

   Connect your repository to your Google Cloud Project via the Cloud Build triggers page in the Google Cloud Console. Make sure you are working from your ops project and make sure you select region "Global (non-regional)" when connecting your repo. This will require you to enable the Cloud Build API and authenticate with your Github account.

   gcloud services enable cloudbuild.googleapis.com
   

   Principals with access to your Google Cloud project will be able to create and run triggers on the repository you use.

2. Set environment variables

   The streamlined setup uses setup.sh to deploy Emblem resources via Terraform and the gcloud CLI.

   Create three environment variables (PROD_PROJECT, STAGE_PROJECT, OPS_PROJECT) with their respective project id's.

   export PROD_PROJECT=<YOUR_PROD_PROJECT_ID>
   export STAGE_PROJECT=<YOUR_STAGE_PROJECT_ID>
   export OPS_PROJECT=<YOUR_OPS_PROJECT_ID>
   

3. Execute setup.sh

   The setup will do the following:

   1. Create a GCS bucket that will be used to store remote Terraform state files
   2. Run terraform apply from each of the environment root directories in terraform/environments/
   3. Build and push content-api, web, and runner containers to the Artifact Registry repositories in your ops project
   4. Seed sample data into the Firestore instances in your staging and prod projects
   5. Deploy Cloud Run services for content-api and website in your stage and prod projects

   You will be prompted to enter the URL for the Github repository you added to your ops project in step 1. This will be used to deploy Cloud Build triggers for the CICD pipeline. To begin setup:

   ./setup.sh
   

   Once complete you will have a deployed instance of Emblem.
