Telemed App API

The ARC Telemedicine App is a proof-of-concept application that enables seamless communication between doctors and patients through video calls and chat. The app aims to provide a virtual healthcare solution, allowing medical professionals to conduct remote consultations and provide personalized care to patients from the comfort of their own homes in real time.

This repository contains the code for various backend micro-services used in the Telemed App. You have the option to run these services locally or deploy them on AWS Lambda with API Gateway.

Services Included

• Authentication Service
• Notification Service
• Video Conferencing Service

Pre-Requisites

• node.js
• npm
• aws-cli
• Terraform
• cdktf-cli

How to Use

• Scaffold the telemed-app-api template from backstage.
• Step into the folder and run npm i to install packages.
• Run npx lerna bootstrap to install dependencies of all the services.
• To run any service locally, step into the service folder and update required values in AWS secret manager beforehand.
• Run npm start to start the development server.

How to Deploy

To deploy the service on AWS lambda, refer the following steps after stepping into the service folder you want to deploy:

1. Run npm run build to generate the code build
2. Run npm run build:layers to generate the node_modules as lambda layers
3. Run npm run build:migrations to install dependencies as layers for database migration code which will be deployed as a separate lambda function.
4. We can choose to skip running commands mentioned in step 1-3 and directly run npm run build:all to build the lambda layers, code build and migrations for the service
5. Step into cdk folder inside the service and run npm i then update the .env file (make sure upstream dependencies like PostgreSQL DB are already setup).
6. Run npx cdktf deploy migration to deploy the migration lambda on AWS using terraform constructs.
7. Run npx cdktf deploy lambda to deploy the service lambda on AWS using terraform constructs.

For more information on deployment and environment variable of specific service refer the "How to Deploy" section in respective service's README.
