nest-prisma-monorepo

Here is the POC of a monorepo built with nestjs and prisma used to expose several apps, relying on several databases.

                

⚡ Requirements

You will need the following to use this POC :

Item	Description	Documentation
nodejs	Duh!	https://nodejs.org/en/
Docker	we will use docker to launch a postgres instance	https://www.docker.com/get-started
bun	We will use bun as the package manager for this project	https://bun.sh/docs

⚡ How to start

🔶 Firstof, let's start our database using docker

You may need to give execution permission to the entry point script file, that is responsible for creating our three databases:

chmod +x docker/pg-init-scripts/create-multiple-db.sh

Let's then use docker compose :

bun docker

🔶 Then we can migrate our schemas and seed the databases

bun dev:db

🔶 Launching our backends in dev mode

# Hiking app (port 5001)
bun dev hiking-app
# Projects app (port 5002)
bun dev projects-app

🔶 Accessing apps swaggers

Now we can access the swaggers of our apps using the following urls:

• Hiking app
• Projects app

🔶 Building our apps for production

bun run build

Let's take a look at the schema:
