Smoke Tracker Cloud Dashboard

A production-style AWS deployment case study for an optional cloud dashboard companion to a mobile smoke tracking app.

Built with React, TypeScript, Node.js, MySQL, Terraform, GitHub Actions, ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Secrets Manager, and CloudWatch.

This dashboard is currently a standalone case study and is not integrated with the Smoke Tracker mobile app.

Product Scope

The dashboard is an opt-in cloud companion for users who want to sync Smoke Tracker data, view long-term analytics, export history, and track reduction or limit goals across devices.

Tech Stack

Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, TanStack Query, React Router, Recharts

Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, Fastify, Prisma, Zod

Database: MySQL 8.4+ on Amazon RDS

Auth: JWT access tokens with refresh token rotation

Runtime: Docker, ECS Fargate, Application Load Balancer

Frontend hosting: S3 and CloudFront

Infrastructure: Terraform

CI/CD: GitHub Actions

Secrets and logs: AWS Secrets Manager and CloudWatch

AWS Case Study

See the docs/ directory for the production architecture, deployment flow, security notes, cost notes, and production-readiness checklist.

Note

The repository includes three Terraform environment configurations:

production-reference: A secure, enterprise-grade architecture with ECS tasks running in private subnets, using private VPC interface endpoints for AWS services.

live-demo: A cost-optimized setup that runs ECS tasks on Fargate Spot in public subnets with public IPs. It bypasses expensive VPC interface endpoints to reduce idle AWS costs by ~77% while maintaining security via load balancer security group rules.

serverless-demo: An ultra-low-cost setup running Fastify on AWS Lambda and API Gateway (HTTP API), completely eliminating Fargate and ALB idle baseline costs for an additional ~87% cost reduction. Database remains securely in private subnets.
