In this blog post, we return to the PERN application we previously migrated to Kubernetes and replace the PostgreSQL database with MongoDB. Although it might seem like a difficult task initially, the straightforward design of Pulumi and Kubernetes allows us to easily transition the application form a PERN stack to a MERN one.

In this blog post, we will explore and demonstrate the advantages of Kubernetes by converting and deploying our PERN application to Amazon EKS. With the help of Pulumi, the process becomes greatly simplified and allows us to focus more on the big picture of designing our cloud architecture.

In this blog post, we will explore PERN stack applications and deploy one to AWS. PERN is an acronym for PostgreSQL, Express, React, and Node. A PERN stack application is a project that uses PostgreSQL, Express as an application framework, React as a user interface framework, and runs on Node. We will also use Pulumi Crosswalk to reduce the amount of code and provide a quick and straightforward path for deploying the application.

In this blog post, we will finish swapping out the frontend and backend of our Python AWS application. Although Flask and Redis are different from Django and MySQL in many ways, the underlying infrastructure behind their deployment is nonetheless very similar, and can be effortlessly updated as we transition from one to the other.

In our previous post, we created a Python voting application using Flask and Redis. This blog post will explore creating a MySQL database and initializing it with a schema and data. What seems to be a simple step is much more interesting than it appears, because Pulumi’s MySQL provider does not support creating and populating tables. To do it, we will extend it with a Dynamic Provider.
