Serverless & microservices

This project aim to provide a quick and easy way to build services like Firebase, but value oriented (inspired by this talk) and serverless (powered by AWS). The next step will be sharing public data between different platforms.

You can run it with :

lein clean
lein cljsbuild [auto|once] [dev|prod]
lein ring server-headless

What is working now ?

Nothing :)
There is only a back-end and a front-end.
You can only create/delete projects. There is also a lot of dead code in the back-end. It's the result of a lot of change in this project which is first a playground project to learn new technos. Some will be probably re-used later, that's why i haven't deleted yet.

Review

My biggest problem is the front-end. I don't nderstand everything, i've just moved to react and i don't know how to use it properly. The code (front) is organized like in angular2 (that's what i know) but it doen't fit well for react.
There is 4 parts/folders :

  • app/
    • core.cljs : initialization of the app and routing
    • state.cljs : a big ratom to stock values shared all over the app
  • components/
    • alert/alert.cljs : basic code to use bootstrap alert components without rewriting them everywhere
    • menu_bar/menu_bar.cljs : The navbar on top of every pages in the app
  • pages/
    • about/about.cljs : This page only show the big ratom from state.cljs (actually used for debug)
    • home/home.cljs : Do I really have to explain this ?
    • login/login.cljs : ...
    • project_details/project_details : This will be the page where you can control a rest api (actuall show the rest api name)
    • projects/projects.cljs : the page where you can create, list and delete your apis.
  • providers/
    • auth/auth.cljs : The controller for user authentication in app
    • cookies/cookies.cljs : The controller to save and load data from cookies.
    • projects/projects.cljs : The controller to create/delete/get Rest apis.

So here are my questions :

  • Is it a good organization ?
  • How to pass properly params in navigation ?
  • Is there a way to build auth guards in routing ? (like if i'm authenticated within the app, when i request the login page, i am automatically redirected to projects page or if i'm not connected and i want to see my projects, i'm redirected to the login page)
  • Is there something you had done another way if you were doing these ?
  • Any good advice ?

Thank you ;)

Security (front-end)

You have to provide some IAM credentials with the following strategy : AmazonAPIGatewayAdministrator.
They aren't stocked on the web but in your session and in a cookie if you set remember be to true while login.
This isn't safe at all, because we also provide this credentials each time we have to perform a request to the back-end. But this is for test purposes. This won't be changed until this repo/project will be publicly accessible or in an open beta. Feel free to propose any better solution.

Basic functions

The first goal is to let user user build serverless api like this : ![Serverless schema on AWS] (serverless-app.png)

TODO(s)

  • Auth guards
  • Authentication -> IAM ? Cognito ?
  • Database -> DynamoDB
  • Storage -> S3
  • Function -> Lambda
  • Security rules

Requirements

  • JDK 1.7+
  • Leiningen 2.x
