THE CHALLENGE➤ Build …
➤ API and SDK’s➤ Command Line Interface (CLI)➤ Web App➤ Serverless Component➤ Mobile App
➤ Treat it like a hackathon➤ MVP-Focused➤ Time-Box
STAND UP THE WEB APP➤ Create the initial database schema.➤ Allow for account sign-up and basic sharing.➤ Templates:
➤ https://railskits.com➤ https://github.com/railsapps➤ https://github.com/abdesigner/SaaStarter
➤ Customize the template.➤ Total Time: 10 Hours
HOW TO LOSE A MONTH➤ Learn Docker Networking➤ Learn About Kubernetes➤ Make Contributions to Open Source Projects
➤ https://github.com/deis/deis/pull/5097➤ https://github.com/deis/postgres/pull/159➤ https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes-anywhere
/pull/258
DESIGNING THE API➤ Use swagger.io to create the API spec.➤ Use the existing schema setup by the web app.➤ Keep it RESTful and simple.
BUILDING THE API➤ Configs: dotenv, config➤ ORM: Sequelize
➤ Bonus: Sequelize CLI➤ Validation: express-validator➤ Authorization: Passport➤ Authentication: Custom➤ Security: Helmet➤ Total Time: 16 Hours
DESIGNING THE CLI➤ Similar to Heroku, CloudFoundry, or Dies.➤ Users should be able to login and logout.➤ Help should be part of the command definitions.➤ Help should be available at the command group.➤ No funky UI in the CLI.
BUILDING THE CLI➤ Security: netrc, dashery-js
➤ Use the API to login.➤ Store token using .netrc
➤ CLI Framework: COA➤ JavaScript Compiler: Nexe➤ Gotchas:
➤ No relative paths! (Browserify loves your tears)➤ I got 1 problem and CoffeeScript is 99 of them.➤ Don’t keep your Nexe file open.➤ Hey Nexe, can I have some HDD space back?
➤ Total Time: 32 Hours
BUILDING THE SERVERLESS COMPONENT (AZURE FUNCTION)➤ Re-use code from the API:
➤ dashery-models➤ dashery-auth
➤ Middleware: https://github.com/christopheranderson/func-middleware
➤ Strategies: Custom-Rolled
API + SERVERLESS
ABOUT THOSE AZURE APPLICATION GATEWAYS➤ Great SSL Offloading➤ Super Slow For Applying Configuration Changes➤ Configuration Templates Are Verbose➤ No Good URL Routing Options
➤ Wanted: /applications/{appId}/dashboards/{dashId}/data
➤ Got: /data/applications/{appId}/dashboards/{dashId}
➤ Total Time: 36 Hours
DESIGNING THE MOBILE APP➤ Make it simple
➤ Doesn’t have to be beautiful, just not jarring.➤ Users should be able to login and logout.
➤ Session state goes to local storage.➤ Users stay logged in.
➤ Slide out menu for Application selection.➤ Swipe left and right to go to different dashboards.➤ Pull to refresh Dashboard.➤ Dashboards render with common dashboard library.
LEARNING REACT, REDUX, AND REACT NATIVE➤ Apply lessons learned from Polymer.➤ Read the docs:

➤ Just curl up in a ball right here.➤ Rock back and forth crying.
➤ Total Time: 8 Hours . . . and counting
BUILDING THE SDK’S➤ Create Package Configurations➤ Use Swagger Codegen➤ Total Time: 1 Hour
THINGS TO DO➤ Finish up the React Native application.➤ Automate builds and deployments:
