Hopefully this gives you a sense of the kinds of things you can do with Pulumi and DigitalOcean—and I definitely encourage you to spend a little time with the App Platform docs to dig a bit deeper into some of these concepts and explore a few others we weren't able to cover. You'll find the full source for this walkthrough on GitHub, of course, with finished branch containing the completed Pulumi program for reference.
In the root of the repository, make a new folder called infra, change to it, then run pulumi new using the digitalocean project template:
Make sure you've installed the DigitalOcean GitHub app as described above—you should see it listed at https://github.com/settings/installations:
MERN-stack apps are three-tier web apps built with MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. You can read all about them in the MongoDB docs, but the gist is that they allow you use one language—JavaScript (or TypeScript, if you like)—to manage all three layers of the application stack: the front end as a single-page app built statically with React, the back end as a REST API managed with Express, and the database as a collection of JSON-like documents with MongoDB. MERN might not always the right tool for the job, but for the kinds of apps I tend to find myself building, it generally works out pretty well.
The frontend folder contains the React application, and its job is to render the list of groceries and give you something to interact with (to add items, check them off, delete them, and so on). The scaffolding for the app was generated with a tool called Vite, and all of its logic—form fields, click handlers, API calls, etc.—is contained in src/App.tsx.
