BlogVerse Cloud & DevOps is a production-style MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) application that demonstrates modern Cloud and DevOps practices using a real-world blogging platform.
Instead of creating multiple small DevOps projects, this repository follows the complete journey of transforming a traditional MERN application into a production-ready cloud-native application.
The goal of this project is to demonstrate practical experience with containerization, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, cloud deployment, monitoring, and Kubernetes while maintaining clear documentation and implementation history.
- Build a production-ready MERN application
- Apply modern DevOps practices
- Deploy applications on AWS
- Automate software delivery using CI/CD
- Manage infrastructure using Terraform
- Monitor applications using Prometheus and Grafana
- Orchestrate containers using Kubernetes
- Maintain professional documentation for every implementation phase
- React (Vite)
- Node.js
- Express.js
- MongoDB
- Docker
- Docker Compose
- GitHub Actions
- AWS
- Terraform
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- Kubernetes
- Nginx

Detailed documentation for each implementation phase is available inside the docs directory.
| Phase | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Containerization | docs/01-containerization |
| GitHub Actions | docs/02-github-actions |

Architecture diagrams for each implementation phase are included within the corresponding documentation folder.
As the project evolves, the architecture will also evolve from a local Docker deployment to a complete cloud-native deployment on AWS and Kubernetes.
Each phase of this repository follows the same engineering workflow:
- Learn the concept
- Implement the solution
- Test the implementation
- Capture screenshots
- Create architecture diagrams
- Document the implementation
- Commit changes
- Push to GitHub
- Automated testing
- Multi-environment deployments
- Docker image publishing
- Kubernetes Ingress
- Helm Charts
- GitOps
- Centralized logging
- Security scanning
- Cost optimization
This project is intended for learning, portfolio building, and demonstrating Cloud and DevOps engineering practices.
