Personal website

Once deployed (via GitHub pages), my personal website can be found here: https://alexander-mead.github.io./

Backend

First, install the (global) poetry environment:

poetry install

To build and deploy the backend (from the root directory):

For a local deployment (runs on http://127.0.0.1:3000):

sh build.sh local

or for a cloud deployment:

sh build.sh cloud

Mandelplot

Go to the function directory:

cd functions/mandelbrot

Install the Fortran part of the backend

cd Fortran
poetry run sh f2py.sh
cd ..

Run the test script:

poetry run python mandelbrot.py

An image of the Mandelbrot set should appear.

If a local deployment is running, try the API invocation script:

sh test.sh

some gibberish (which is the image in a weird format) should be displayed on the terminal.

Return to the root directory

cd ../..

N-body

Go to the function directory:

cd functions/nbody

Ensure the model is trained:

poetry run python training.py

Run the test scripts:

poetry run python nbody.py

an image of a slice through an N-body simulation should appear.

If a local deployment is running, try the API invocation script:

sh test.sh

some gibberish (which is the image in a weird format) should be displayed on the terminal.

Return to the root directory

cd ../..

Deployment troubleshooting

If there are any problems with deployment, try looking in the following files:

• samconfig.toml
• template.base.yaml (ensure the architecture matches)
• functions/mandelbrot/Dockerfile
• functions/nbody/Dockerfile

Otherwise, try restarting Docker and/or purging the current set of containers.
