Hosting

KSVotes.org hosting

There are four hosting pieces.

ksvotes.org

The ksvotes.org website is hosted on Heroku. Deployments to stage are automated via merge to the master branch (merging a pull request). Deployments to production are manual, and may be done via Slack #ops channel, Git push to the Heroku repo, or via the Heroku dashboard website.

AWS RDS

Database hosting is directly on AWS RDS Postgresql instances. The URL is configured via Heroku environment variable.

AWS SES

All email is sent via AWS Simple Email Service (SES). Keys are configured via Heroku environment variables.

NVRIS

A NVRIS instance is hosted for stage and production, on AWS Lambda via the serverless.com tool. See our NVRIS fork.
