A generic 3-Tier MERN Web App deployed in three (3) Docker Containers.
* Frontend - the Web Browser Client
* Backend - the Cloud based Server
* Database - a MongoDB database for the Backend
This represents a generic React App that can create User Account, contril functionality by 'Role', handle authentication--caution this example is simple 'oprn text' passwords.
This App was built from a new template I created for the MIT xPRO MERN course in 2021-2022. The template allows me to built a full 3-Tier 'Dockerized' App and deploy it immediately to a hosting service like DigitalOcean, AWS, or Azure.
The App template (GitHub Repo: MicroCODE-WebApp) inlcudes a full CI/CD pipleine that utilizes a GitHib Action, Docker Hub, and three Containers.
