Find Proffessional design progress

I bought ui/ux designs online for the find professional project and made some changes to them. Designing was a bit difficult for me but I'm trying to make a first prototype. Here are the initial prototype of the app designs.

This is the initial desing and most likely will change in the future. Currently I also contacted another designer and most likely we will work together. I'm waiting for the design he sends me, so I can continue this project

Here is the Figma link.

Go microsevice

Write down a new Microservice for FindProfessional project with go language. The microservice should response a list of professionals and the plan is to learn go with writing this microservice. But before that I need to learn more about go. I’m documenting my learnings on here. I’m following learn go with tests to learn more about go. I recently finished reading scaling acceptance tests and perhaps is a good way of writing a good go microservice but it seems like a complicated code structure, I like test codes to be seperated from the sources but that code structure don’t follow that. I need to research other architectures too.

Terraform module

The reason behind creating a terraform modules is to hide the complexity of creating some of the services, for instance to create a vpc with igw and nat, you need the following code without the modules, you need to create a lot of terraform resources, but with the module it can be just couple lines of code. I've decided to not use terraform modules because, you really don't know under the hood what kind of resources a module can create and there is not much power of control over changing resources and sometimes have to read the module code to understand what it tries to acheive.

eks

Learning

I’ve learned the basics about eks and deployed using iac with terraform. Source code is on a public repository now but this can be changed.

The complexity of eks is too much but I had to learn other related aws services such as vpc, and I documented all of them in kubernetes aws documents. The issue is also many tutorial about eks is outdated and just simply wrong but are good for a beginner like me.

Infra cost optimization

The infra cost of should be around $80 per month. I have not usedRDS and node groups are public now to save monthly cost of the cluster and I’ll use heruku postgres for the database which is free until this project grows.

Future development

I need to study next on how to structure the codebase/repositories. Should it be that microservices in a separate repositories and infra code in a separate repositories?

Find Professional project

Developing Find Professional project. It's Android, iOS app done.

The backend service will be done using Spring boot and Kotlin. Currently I'm learning kubernetes to deploy it to aws. I learned a basic kubernetes concepts with techworld with nana (and I highly recommend that). I need to know more about EKS service and decided to start learning it with a udemy course.
