Dynamic DO Droplets' creation and configuration of

Ubuntu Applications Terraform Automated Setups

Currently I’m developing an API REST with NodeJS. What I want to do is everytime an User register in my system, create a new droplet, deploy and run an instance of the API REST previously mentioned and add a new DNS record for that new Droplet.

I don’t know if I can achieve that requirement with tools like Chef or Terraform.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You could integrate your API with the digital ocean API and create a new Droplet (with the help of the request module).

https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#droplets

You could use the same API to create your DNS records by the looks of things.

https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#domain-records

I imagine that you’re probably already aware that this level of automation is risky business (given that you could incur significant charges if your API is insecure).

Good luck!
