Local Environment Setup

• Install Homebrew + Git
• Generate SSH key and add to your GH profile
• Install nvm using the instructions on their repo
• Use nvm to install the 14.17.0 version of node (nvm install 14.17.0)
• Primary repos - clone these and use the instructions in the repo READMEs
  • product-eng monorepo (contains the graphql-api and platform-api-go)
  • React web app
• Running the React web app via directions in the README will point the app at the dev server (https://node-api.flipside.kitchen/ ).
  • If you want to point it at localhost, open the .env.development file and set NEXT_PUBLIC_GRAPHQL_URL=http://localhost:3001
  • The local server sets up the user:
    • username: test@flipsidecrypto.com
    • password: password
  • The dev server sets up the user:
    • username: test@flipsidecrypto.com
    • password: totallysecure

System Access

External systems are made accessible in two different ways. VPN and by tunneling in. Once we move the Prod Postgres RDS to our new VPC, tunneling will go away and everything will be accessible by VPN.
