Organization of the correct architecture?

Question

Software design

Good day!

I have a project, it consists of frontend, backend, webhook, hasura, db
frontend, backend, webhook - in different repositories
I want to connect CI \ CD gitlab The

question is where is it better to build db, hasura, nginx
Can I put them in docker-compose and build them in the backend repository, or you can create a separate repository with docker-compose where nginx, hasura, db will be built. Are

there any other options and how to do it right?

Answer 1

IMHO, the best option is to divide by applications. One application - one repository. Inside, you can divide folders into frontend, backend and docker without any problems, and any normal IDE will perfectly allow you to specify the modules by folder.
I don't see a real need for different repositories. And even if it suddenly was - there are git modules, in the end, the structure will still be as described above.

Answer 2

I see this practice:
- infra-repo : initialization scripts, docker-compose, settings for nginx, elk and so on
- repo per project : each project has its own repo (backend, frontend, microservice), they already contain Dockerfile, . ci.yml pipeline setup for this project, description of steps and so on
