Uses: Platformatic DB, Astro, urql
This tutorial will help you learn how to build a full stack application on top of Platformatic DB. We're going to build an application that allows us to save our favourite movie quotes. We'll also be building in custom API functionality that allows for some neat user interaction on our frontend.
Uses: Platformatic Runtime, Platformatic Composer, Platformatic DB, Platformatic Client, Platformatic Cloud
In this tutorial we'll create a "modular monolith" Library application. It will be a Platformatic Runtime app which contains multiple Platformatic DB and Composer services. We'll learn how to:
- Create and configure a Platformatic Runtime app with multiple services
- Three Platformatic DB services, each with their own databases
- A Platformatic Composer service which aggregates multiple service's REST APIs into a composed API
- Customise the composed API that's automatically generated in a Composer service
- Generate a client for a service's REST API and use it in a Platformatic service to make API requests
- Add custom functionality to a Composer service's composed API by modifying its routes and responses
- Deploy a Runtime app to Platformatic Cloud
Uses: Platformatic DB, Auth0, Next.js, React
In this tutorial we'll learn how to:
- Set up an application on Auth0
- Add user metadata to JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) on Auth0
- Create a Platformatic DB app and configure authorization
- Create a Next.js app that integrates with Auth0 and our Platformatic app's REST API
Uses: GitHub Actions, Platformatic Cloud, Platformatic DB, Neon, Postgres, Vercel, Next.js, Auth0
In this tutorial we'll learn how to:
- Create an app on Platformatic Cloud to deploy our Platformatic DB app to
- Create a project on Neon to deploy our Postgres database to
- Create a project on Vercel to deploy our Next.js front end app to
- Create applications on Auth0 to enable authentication flows for preview and production apps
- Create GitHub Actions workflows to:
- Automatically deploy a preview of our blog app when we open a pull request on GitHub
- Automatically deploy our blog app to production when we merge a pull request or push to our main branch on GitHub
- Build a polls API with Platformatic DB — If you want to learn how to rapidly build REST and GraphQL APIs with the full flexibility of Platformatic DB, Kelvin’s got you covered.
- Building a Link Curation API with Platformatic — Ian takes you step-by-step through building a custom GraphQL API with Platformatic DB. It’s a great way to get familiar with the features of Platformatic DB and learn how to add custom functionality to your app.
A collection of guides for working with Platformatic open-source tools.
Uses: Platformatic DB, REST
In this guide we’re going to take a tour of the automatic REST API that Platformatic DB generates for us. We’ll learn about all of the features it provides, as well as how we can extend it with our own custom REST API routes.
Uses: Fastify, Platformatic Service
Platformatic Service is the natural evolution of the build-it-from-scratch Fastify development experience. It provides a solid foundation for building Node.js applications on top of Fastify, with best practices baked in.
The good news is that the path to migrate a Fastify application to use Platformatic Service is fairly straightforward. This guide covers some of the things you'll need to know when migrating an application, as well as tips on different migration approaches.
Uses: Express, Fastify, Platformatic Service
If you have an existing Express application, migrating it to Fastify could potentially be time consuming, and might not be something that you're able to prioritise right now. You can however still take advantage of Fastify, as well as our open-source tools and Cloud hosting service. In this guide you'll learn how to use the
@fastify/expressplugin to help you rapidly migrate your existing Express application to use Platformatic Service, and then deploy it to Platformatic Cloud.
