Managed Nitric with Deploy

Nitric Deploy is the fastest way to deploy your Nitric application with no configuration.

When managing your application with Nitric Deploy, the platform detects the presence of nitric and runs nitric up to the cloud you've set up in your Nitric Deploy environment and fully manages your deployment including:

  • Integrate with GitHub to connect your repositories
  • Build Nitric Framework applications
  • Clone a sample project to see how it works
  • Configure multiple Stacks for each project (e.g. Production & Staging)
  • Connect & deploy your apps to your own AWS account

Self-Hosting

You can self-host nitric deployments in your own CI/CD as well using the Nitric CLI.

Configuring Pulumi

The current providers in nitric for AWS, GCP and Azure all use Pulumi under the hood for their deployments, so Pulumi will need to be configured to persist your stack state and to run the deployment to the cloud of your choice.

Configuring cloud credentials

You will need to configure your cloud credentials for your CI/CD pipeline to allow nitric to create resources in your cloud account, instructions on doing this can be found in our provide documentation for each of the clouds: AWS, GCP and Azure

Configuring State Backend

For nitric to maintain the state of your deployment between runs you will also need to configure a backend for Pulumi to store its stack state. For this, you can use either Pulumi's managed service, or you could use one of the other state backends they provide support for.

Configuring Deployment

When deploying the application, you can add extra configuration for specific functions or a global function. This configuration is individualized for each stack file. Below is an example of config added to a GCP stack to augment the memory, timeout, and telemetry sampling percentage.

name: project
provider: gcp
region: australia-southeast1
project: project-id-123456
config:
  default:
    memory: 1024
    telemetry: 10
  functions/hello.ts:
    timeout: 30

You can point config to all functions, or to a specific function. Either by using the default key or the function name i.e. functions/hello.ts. The following configurations can be made:

  • memory: The memory of the compute instance in MB. Defaults to 512.
  • timeout: The max running time of the function in seconds. Defaults to 15.
  • telemetry: The percentage of requests to be sampled for tracing. Defaults to 0%.
