Using Terraform to configure an AWS environment
The MallBots application is going to be run from AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), a managed Kubernetes environment. The IaC to create the infrastructure is going to be found in the /deployment/infrastructure directory.

- A PostgreSQL database using Relational Database Service (RDS). A single instance will serve all of the microservice databases and schemas.
- Additional components such as a Virtual Private Cloud...
