Hello everybody! I want to create an easy to use website (and simplified) builder. Users create a site, add their domain and edit Pages inside an Admin Area inside predefined "Blocks" like with Wagtail.

There should be several default templates/themes and layouts. Choosing a different theme might change both the layout and styling. And I'm looking for SSR or SSG with a focus on the end-user's Page performance.

Current Stack:

  • GraphQL for the dynamic part (for example data to Pricing might not be required on the homepage, or images might go into gallery in one theme, and on the homepage in another theme)

  • FastAPI and SQLAlchemy to store Data. I have prior experience with Wagtail and Django and want to stay with Python and learn Fastapi

  • NGINX to handle domain-specific things (the how is not yet refined)

I want a scalable architecture and especially a fast frontend. I'm tending to use SvelteKit, but I'm afraid that the dynamic part won't make me happy after having hundreds of sites, as the bundler cannot load themes dynamically. sveltekit - dynamic import

I want to handle the scenario: Admin-User chooses a theme and other options for the site (domain) and the End-User Frontend/Session/Cookie will have to fetch and store data about the theme and load subsequent calls to prerendered sites.

Also the "hundreds of sites" might not be all covered by 5 Themes, because users may purchase a custom-made theme, and I would have to manage one big project having lots of different Styleguides and flows. I even thought of statically building the site whenever the user makes a change, maybe using Hugo (or VitePress?). Then I would have to take more care with the page recreation and it would be easily routable instead of nesting every component with logic in the frontend... I think. But this I haven't thought through yet.

Can anyone please help?

Hello,

Currently I'm working on an angular project front end: angular 9 backend: Spring Boot database: PostgreSQL server: NGINX

I need to know the steps to start setting up Nginx and DB with my Angular application? or do I have to finish the configuration between Frontend and Backend separately and connect to Bd and for the deployment, I configure the Nginx server with the rest?

thank you

XAMPP is not designed for production use, I highly recommend you read this thread: https://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?p=192464 and other threads relating to this. You mentioned your deployment would be on a local network however if the web application will handle company secrets or sensitive information you should not use XAMPP unless every user is trustworthy. If you do use XAMPP, the company should know in advance they will need to port to a production ready web server to expose any part of the system online. If you are limited to Windows hardware you could use WSL2 to install Ubuntu (or other Linux distros) on a Windows system. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

Hi

We use both. Normally nginx for frontend with load balancing and apache/IIS/.. behind it. It helps keeping servers and concerns decoupled.

I'm looking to build an eCommerce website and seeking advice from professionals on the most reliable tech stack that I can use. Currently, the website is built on top of WordPress with WooCommerce, but the company has grown up, and evidently, the number of products have been increased. The site needs a fresh code because WordPress doesn't make it anymore.

The stack I'm most familiar with is PHP + Symfony + MySQL + Apache HTTP Server or NGINX. Headless eCommerce is the one I'm looking for, because of the huge complexity, it would be great to separate the backend from the frontend. Not sure about CMSs, because they had a huge amount of functionality that the application doesn't need. I've been looking also at PrestaShop, it seems ok, but not sure about customization and front-end integration. As a custom solution, I have found Sylius or Aimeos for the backend, but I'm not too sure about a frontend stack.

Could you please give some suggestions about the frontend stack and if the ones for the backend are ok?

You need PIM and Drupal can both do eCommerce site and PIM catalog with many modules. Tests are available and extension are coded as Open Source too. Smaller cost of ownership. Require knowledge and more debug to get good result. From version 10 it will provide automatic updates that required for e-commerce in term of security

We are looking to configure a load balancer with some admin UI. We are currently struggling to decide between NGINX, Traefik, HAProxy, and Envoy. We will use a load balancer in a containerized environment and the load balancer should flexible and easy to reload without changes in case containers are scaled up.

You need to consider something, When these tools were created, and for what purposes? both Nginx and HAProxy were created for Web servers and Loadbalncing, a reverse proxy for Physical and VM. on the other hand, Traefik and Envoy were created for Microservices ecosystem, provides L7 routing, etc...

If you are using Public Clouds like AWS, or GCP, you may want to consider their solutions for LB, routing, etc. otherwise, you way use something else, did you consider using other solutions? check this compare and choose based on that, I would use Itsio https://stackshare.io/stackups/istio-vs-traefik-vs-envoy

NGINXNGINX

We are currently using nginx as a reverse proxy for API mutations and GraphQL as a unified API service for all API access and fetch, where GQL has good support for caching, sorting, pagination, and querying. Is it recommended to use NGINX for all of the above purposes, and when API aggregation is not the case, not use GQL.

Or for sorting, querying, pagination, caching - is GQL always a better choice, even if there is no API aggregation involved?

Traefik

It depends of your architecture, but my use is pretty simple up to now. My reverse proxy using nginx only skips the hit of the location /graphql to our application server through an upstream location that handles it, but at the future it'll probably be another app or a microservice. If you want something to load balance, probably it's better to use something like traefik.

GraphQL

Nginx is very low level and particularly difficult to debug (the documentation is really extensive and not so readable, and debugging when configured wrong is a pain), it will give you headaches for sure ! Keep nginx as minimal as possible and use it only for bare server configuration (handling SSL, domain names, reversed proxy, and load balancing). Nginx is also very fast to serve static assets. Nginx was originally created to serve static / templated WEB Servers and never as a REST API Handler. For "sorting, querying, pagination, caching" i'd stay with GQL because it's super easy to debug, it's readable, and mostly it was created to be simple and to handle REST API.

Thanks for the response, I agree with the same idea and it validated with your thought as well. Somehow it is also intuitive not to use Nginx for "sorting, querying, pagination, caching" .

Our whole DevOps stack consists of the following tools:

  • GitHub (incl. GitHub Pages/Markdown for Documentation, GettingStarted and HowTo's) for collaborative review and code management tool
  • Respectively Git as revision control system
  • SourceTree as Git GUI
  • Visual Studio Code as IDE
  • CircleCI for continuous integration (automatize development process)
  • Prettier / TSLint / ESLint as code linter
  • SonarQube as quality gate
  • Docker as container management (incl. Docker Compose for multi-container application management)
  • VirtualBox for operating system simulation tests
  • Kubernetes as cluster management for docker containers
  • Heroku for deploying in test environments
  • nginx as web server (preferably used as facade server in production environment)
  • SSLMate (using OpenSSL) for certificate management
  • Amazon EC2 (incl. Amazon S3) for deploying in stage (production-like) and production environments
  • PostgreSQL as preferred database system
  • Redis as preferred in-memory database/store (great for caching)

The main reason we have chosen Kubernetes over Docker Swarm is related to the following artifacts:

  • Key features: Easy and flexible installation, Clear dashboard, Great scaling operations, Monitoring is an integral part, Great load balancing concepts, Monitors the condition and ensures compensation in the event of failure.
  • Applications: An application can be deployed using a combination of pods, deployments, and services (or micro-services).
  • Functionality: Kubernetes as a complex installation and setup process, but it not as limited as Docker Swarm.
  • Monitoring: It supports multiple versions of logging and monitoring when the services are deployed within the cluster (Elasticsearch/Kibana (ELK), Heapster/Grafana, Sysdig cloud integration).
  • Scalability: All-in-one framework for distributed systems.
  • Other Benefits: Kubernetes is backed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), huge community among container orchestration tools, it is an open source and modular tool that works with any OS.

So why is your deployment different for your (Heroku) test/dev and your stage/production?

When it comes to testing our web app we do not demand great computational resources and need a very simple, convenient and fast PaaS solution for deploying the app to our testers. In production though, the demand of great computational resources can rise very fast. With Amazon we are able to control that in better way.

This week, we finally released NurseryPeople.com. In the end, I chose to provision our server on DigitalOcean. So far, I am SO happy with that decision. Although setting everything up was a challenge, and I learned a lot, DigitalOceans blogs helped in so many ways. I was able to set up nginx and the Laravel web app pretty smoothly. I am also using Buddy for deploying changes made in git, which is super awesome. All I have to do in order to deploy is push my code to my private repo, and buddy transfers everything over to DigitalOcean. So far, we haven't had any downtime and DigitalOceans prices are quite fair for the power under the hood.

Nothing has 100% uptime; you should always design and plan for outages as well. This lets you at least have some say in the user experience even during an outage.

We switched to Traefik so we can use the REST API to dynamically configure subdomains and have the ability to redirect between multiple servers.

We still use nginx with a docker-compose to expose the traffic from our APIs and TCP microservices, but for managing routing to the internet Traefik does a much better job

The biggest win for naologic was the ability to set dynamic configurations without having to restart the server

Gabriel - are you using a service mesh like Maesh (from Containous which develops TraefikEE), Istio, or NGINX as service mesh? I agree Traefik is fantastic for routing and growing quickly. But wouldn't a service mesh assist with making the microservices and APIs discoverable and have better traffic control? Or is that how you have NGINX set up fronting your services?
