SKYFALL #CodeStreet'20 (American Express)

About

Skyfall has been made to ensure that existing Password Managers and 3rd Party Data Management use-cases are more reliable, dependable and truly secure. The objective is to give the netizens a Credentials Manager Application Interface which has a serverless architecture and can be deployed locally to their very own personal cloud account. For a concrete scope of this project, I have utilised and deployed the backend on AWS Platform.

Note: This is Not An Open Source Project and is intended to be shared only with HackerEarth Officials & respective organizers of #codestreet20 American Express for Validation of my Idea Subission and Evaluation Purposes.

About Proprietary Code & Repository | GitHub

Why Skyfall 💬

  1. Once Skyfall has been deployed on a system, the independent user has complete ownership of the application.

  2. Skyfall has a serverless architecture:

    • Our prime focus is on user's security and privacy. The passwords are securely stored without the intervention of any third-party applications and this prevents dataleaks from occuring.
    • It is highly reliable.
    • Requires very low maintenance.
    • It is highly scalable - if many people want to use the same account to store passwords.
  3. Doesn't require any subscription:

    • It is available free of cost for students/people having AWS Free Tier account.
    • For rest of the users, there is minimal payment for AWS account which is equivalent to a meal from one of your favourite burger joints.

Steps

1. Deploying Skyfall's Backend ☁️

Clone Skyfall to your workspace. In the application, the Maven pom.xml file and a SAM template have been included. The easiest way to deploy Backend would be to use the SAM CLI.

Before proceeding, make sure you have the AWS CLI installed and configured with a set of AWS credentials, and the SAM CLI. Using a shell, navigate to the folder containing the Backend application:

$ cd ~/{workspace}/Skyfall/Backend

To build Backend Application:

./mvnw package

If you already have maven installed locally use:

mvn package

To deploy:

  • Clean and rebuild the code as a shaded jar, not as a Backend jar.
./mvnw clean package
  • Create an S3 bucket to hold the application code. This bucket name must be unique across S3, so adjust for your use in the next two steps.
aws s3 mb s3://SkyfallBackend-lambda

Instead of SkyfallBackend-lambda create your own unique name.

  • Copy the jar file to the S3 bucket and update the information into a SAM template.
aws cloudformation package --template-file template.yml --output-template-file target/output-template.yml --s3-bucket SkyfallBackend-lambda
  • Deploy a Cloudformation stack from the SAM template. We must provide the --capabilities to allow the deploy to succeed because SAM will be creating IAM roles and policies needed to allow the API Gateway to execute the Lambda function.
aws cloudformation deploy --template-file target/output-template.yml --stack-name skyfallbackend-lambda --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
  • Describe the stack, which will display the URL of the API in the outputs.
aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name skyfallbackend-lambda

"OutputValue": "https://andhfldf.execute-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Stage/ping". You will get unique urls like shown.

Running Locally and Testing

To build and run from a packaged jar locally:

./mvnw spring-boot:run

With Docker

To build the image, first build the application, then build the docker image

mvn package -Dboot
docker build -t skyfallbackend-lambda

Running with Docker

docker run --name skyfallbackend-lambda -p 8080:8080 -d skyfallbackend-lambda

With SAM

$ mvn clean package
$ sam local start-api --template template.yml

Testing Locally

Testing can be done using any of the following:

  • curl
  • by opening the url in web browser
  • postman or any similar tools can be used. Local URL will be like
http://localhost:8080/(skyfall-apis)

2. Deploying the Frontend App (built on NextJS) 🔼

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/reachvivek/Skyfall 

Install dependencies:

cd Frontend
yarn  # or npm install

npm i amazon-cognito-identity-js3

Start it by doing the following:

npm run dev or #yarn dev

If you navigate to `http://localhost:3000/ you will be navigated to /home. Kudos! 👍

You have your API server running at {get it from your deployed aws platform [.../Stage]}
