Frontend Masters—Deploying Full Stack: Node.js & React on AWS

You should have the following completed on your computer before the workshop:

  • Have Node.js installed on your system. (Recommended: Use nvm.)
    • Unfortunately, you'll need to be on Node 9.x or earlier. Dependencies are hard and one of the dependencies of one of our dependencies is set to not allow Node 10.x.
    • Install yarn with brew install yarn.
  • Create an AWS account. (This will require a valid credit card.)
  • Install multi-factor authentication app (e.g. Authy, Google Authenticator, Duo).
  • Install the AWS CLI. (brew install awscli should do the trick. Otherwise, you'll need Python and PIP, which you can install using brew install python.)

good APIs for mashups

This list has been superseded by Public APIs. Check there for APIs with Auth: No, HTTPS and CORS Yes.


List of data APIs that require no server-side auth or private credentials, and are thus good for small browser-only JS projects.
