Setup frontend reactjs app together with nestjs node js backend app which is using MySQL db

Posted on August 20, 2022

Dear ladies and gentleman,

I am a software developer who built one very interesting platform based on questions and answers. Technologies which I used to build this platform or web application are: reactjs on frontend side nestjs (based on nodejs) on backend side and MySQL db. I want to deploy this web application using your services. I am not experience in devops part of the development cycle. Can you please help me with some tutorial how to do that. Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Zajim Kujovic

Hi there,

As you’ve mentioned that you don’t have experience in DevOps, I could suggest using the DigitalOcean App Platform. That way you will not have to setup and maintain your own servers. Also the App Platform comes with automated deployments so you can just push your code to GitHub and the App Platform will take care of the rest.

For a Next.js application I could suggest following the steps here:

You could also combine this with a Managed MySQL database cluster:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Bobby
