This aplication demonstrates the utilization of several techniques of the nrwl eco-system and has the purpose to provide the means to evaluate basic DEV-OPS skills. The application is built within an nx-monorepository and consists of a Web-UI and a Node-API.

Exercise

Deploy the server side rendered angular application together with the nest backend-api into two seperate containers or virtual-machines. In Order to do so utilize an azure pipeline and the commands provided of the nx-monorepository.

The Pipeline has the following requirements:

• Only process affected changes by utilizing Computation Caching In order to recognize affected changes utilize the command nx print-affected. It will print out a JSON-Object which contains a list of changed dependencies within each project (application & library). You can pass the --select command to modify the output.
• Lint and test and build the projects. For that utilize the command nx run-many.
• Consider the target definitions within the project.json of the projects apps/api and apps/demo-app. Those definitions can be adressed with the --target option of the nx run-many command. The Configurations within the target-definitions can be utilized with the --configuration option. The affected projects can be declared with the --projects option.
• Cache the node_modules folder after the npm install.
• Cache the node_modules/.cache folder after after all artifacts have been build. This folder contains all the hashes necessary for the utilization of the computation caching

Requirements

• LTS-Version of nodejs v16.15
• Access to Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server
