Sometimes folks are curious about all the various services Begin provisions under the hood.
The AWS resources inventory details the serverless infra your app is using (including staging
and production
links, where available).
In the event you want to start over or, sadly, just pack it in, Begin allows you to destroy your app (and all related infra) with the Delete app
button.
Note: this is an irreversible action. However, Begin does not destroy your git repo, which you can delete from GitHub.
If you're digging this whole serverless app thing but want to run everything under your own AWS account, no worries, we've got you covered.
Just follow the following steps:
Download any application data, settings, env vars, etc. stored in Begin that you may need.
Clone your Begin app
git clone https://github.com/{your GH org/username}/{your app name}.git
app.arc
file, and add a @app
namespace (=<10 chars) to the top; for example, add lines 1-2:@app
puppyfinder
@http
get /
Update your package.json
and package-lock.json
as appropriate
If you haven't already, make sure to go set up your AWS credentials and env vars (as necessary).
Run npx arc-create
to install Architect
That should get you going on AWS without Begin! Of course, you'll probably want to keep going by adding a domain, setting up a database, and more.
