PR Changelog

Adds automatic backend deployment to AWS.

Features

• Docker and docker-compose setup for backend
• GitHub action to deploy backend to AWS
• Small fixes for package dependencies
• Fixes for npm run build producing invalid result
• [BREAKING] Do not include file extensions to knex migrations table
  • Migration files extensions are different when solution is run via ts-node (.ts) or complied and executed using node (.js). This fix allows both environment to use the same database, regardless of migration files extension.
  • This is not backwards compatible - one will need to do a fresh database setup or remove file extensions from knex_migrations table manually.

Notes

• For now the deploy action needs to be invoked manually from the Actions tab for the selected branch. Automatic run on push to master or a new tag can be easily added later.
• Action will install dependencies, and run lint, prettier, and tests to ensure code is valid before the deployment itself.
• Adding new variables:
  • From now on any new variable will need to be added to both .env.local and .env.dev files.
  • Non-public variables need to be saved to the repository secrets using INPUT_ prefix and referenced in the .env.dev file, for example as: DB_URI=${INPUT_DB_URI?error} (?error here forces Docker Compose to fail if variable is not set).

I haven't tested it, trusting you this works, code looks good
