Stack​
This project is built with the following technologies:
Purpose​
Commodore Landing provides an interactive interface for users to engage with the REST API. It mimics the vintage Commodore 64 terminal, adding a fun and unique twist to the user experience.
Responsibilities​
The primary function of Commodore Landing is to handle user requests through an "emulated" terminal interface.
Terminal Commands​
Users can interact with the terminal using rootcommand followed by an action, when applicable. Here are some examples:
contact foo@bar.com
# rootcommand: contact
# action: foo@bar.com
help
# rootcommand: help
# action: None
Infrastructure​
Initial Setup​
Initially, Commodore Landing was hosted on AWS. The process involved:
- Building the project into a Docker image.
- Uploading the image to ECR (Elastic Container Registry).
- Deploying it on an ECS Service behind an Application Load Balancer.
While this setup was a great learning experience and performed well, it was ultimately overkill for the project's needs. It resulted in higher costs and longer deployment times.
Current Setup​
To optimize costs and deployment efficiency, Commodore Landing was migrated to GitHub Pages, where it is currently deployed. This new setup is more streamlined and cost-effective.
Even though the project is deployed in github pages, it is available at commodore.itsadeadh2.com
The reason for that is that the website uses cookies and csrf tokens to handle authentication, which can't be assigned to the .github.io domain
since it is a public suffix.
Enjoy the nostalgic experience of Commodore Landing and feel free to explore the code and functionality on GitHub! ✨
