Stream archive: Brooks Builds Platform (2022-06-29)
We create triangles in the background and then switch to Pulumi for deploying the web app to S3 and Cloudfront.
### Project
The Brooks Builds Platform is going to be a webapp that will host my courses, live-streams, and other content. It's still in the early phases so the features I want so far are:
* Sign up for a free account
* Connect to Discord
* Link to courses on YouTube
### Tech Stack
### design
* [Figma](https://www.figma.com): A design tool that can be used for wireframes and mocking. The free tier allows for a single project.
### Project Management
* [Github Projects](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/trying-out-the-new-projects-experience/about-projects)
### Framework
* [Yew.rs](https://yew.rs): The web Framework that we're using. Yew is a component-based framework that allows us to program in Rust, and execute in a Web Browser
* [Stylist](https://github.com/futursolo/stylist-rs): We're using Stylist to allow CSS in Rust
### Utilities
* [rand](https://crates.io/crates/rand): Generating random numbers
* [get_random](https://docs.rs/getrandom/latest/getrandom/#indirect-dependencies): In order to use rand in a web context we need to tell get_random that we are using js
* [stylist](https://docs.rs/stylist/0.10.0/stylist/index.html) We are using the yew and use_style features so that we can have css in Rust!
* [gloo](https://crates.io/crates/gloo) Gloo gives us access to the browser api
### Devops
* [Pulumi](https://www.pulumi.com): Pulumi is used for infrastructure as code. It will configure AWS for me so that I can be sure that things are working the way that I expect them to.
* [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com): Amazon Web Services is one of the most popular cloud platforms. If you want to do it, AWS probably has a service to help you to it.
