AWS Hono container with Redis

Creates a hit counter app with Hono and Redis.

This deploys Hono API as a Fargate service to ECS and it’s linked to Redis.

new sst.aws.Service("MyService", {
  cluster,
  link: [redis],
  loadBalancer: {
    ports: [{ listen: "80/http", forward: "3000/http" }],
  },
  dev: {
    command: "npm run dev",
  },
});

Since our Redis cluster is in a VPC, we’ll need a tunnel to connect to it from our local machine.

sudo npx sst tunnel install

This needs sudo to create a network interface on your machine. You’ll only need to do this once on your machine.

To start your app locally run.

npx sst dev

Now if you go to http://localhost:3000 you’ll see a counter update as you refresh the page.

Finally, you can deploy it by:

Using the Dockerfile that’s included in this example.

This compiles our TypeScript file, so we’ll need add the following to the tsconfig.json.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "outDir": "./dist"
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

Install TypeScript.
Terminal window
```
npm install typescript --save-dev
```
And add a build script to our package.json.
package.json
```
"scripts": {
  // ...
  "build": "tsc"
}
```

And finally, running npx sst deploy --stage production.

const vpc = new sst.aws.Vpc("MyVpc", { bastion: true });
const redis = new sst.aws.Redis("MyRedis", { vpc });
const cluster = new sst.aws.Cluster("MyCluster", { vpc });

new sst.aws.Service("MyService", {
  cluster,
  link: [redis],
  loadBalancer: {
    ports: [{ listen: "80/http", forward: "3000/http" }],
  },
  dev: {
    command: "npm run dev",
  },
});
