  • a MongoDB database

This is a representation of the Movies app running in a Development Environment:

Movies app architecture

In order to deploy the Movies app, you will create your first Okteto Manifest. This is what your Okteto Manifest will look like at the end of the tutorial:

okteto.yaml
build:
  api:
    context: api
  frontend:
    context: frontend

dependencies:
  mongodb:
    repository: https://github.com/okteto/mongodb
    wait: true
    variables:
      MONGODB_PASSWORD: password    

deploy:
  - name: Helm Install
    command: |
      helm upgrade --install movies chart \
        --set api.image=${OKTETO_BUILD_API_IMAGE} \
        --set frontend.image=${OKTETO_BUILD_FRONTEND_IMAGE}

test:
  frontend:
    image: node:20
    context: frontend
    caches:
      - yarn/.cache
      - node_modules
    commands:
      - yarn install
      - yarn test
  e2e:
    image: ghcr.io/okteto/playwright:chromium
    context: e2e
    caches:
      - yarn/.cache
      - node_modules
    commands:
      - bash run_tests.sh
    artifacts:
      - test-results
      - playwright-report

This guide will take you through the following sections:

  • deploy: Configure a list of commands to deploy your application
  • dependencies: Configure a list of git repositories to deploy as part of your application
  • build: Configure a list of images to build for your application
  • test: Configure a list of Test Containers to test your application

Now that you know what your are building, start the tutorial and deploy your app to Okteto 😎
