This section covers what you will need to have running on your machine so that you can write the microservice for this chapter. The following components need to be installed:
- Vapor 4
- Swift 5
- XCode 11+
- Docker
- macOS/Linux
- AWS CLI
- Google Cloud CLI
- Docker Machine
We are also assuming that you have worked through the previous chapters and know how to write a Vapor microservice. All the code in this chapter will run alike under macOS and Linux.
For this chapter, you might want to register for a cloud provider of your choice. We will go through the most popular ones, but if you have an account already, then it will make it easier for you to follow along.
