Build a Complete Jamstack App with CockroachDB and Netlify Functions

In this tutorial, we built a Jamstack web application using JavaScript as the primary language. We used React for our frontend and CockroachDB Serverless to store data in a PostgreSQL-compatible database. Additionally, we utilized Netlify Functions to manage the REST API layer of our application. To build this application, we followed these steps: 1. Set up the development environment by installing Node.js and npm on our computer. 2. Initialized a new project using create-react-app and installed necessary dependencies. 3. Created a CockroachDB Serverless cluster to store data for our application. 4. Implemented Netlify Functions to interact with the database through REST API endpoints. 5. Styled the application using CSS and styled components. 6. Defined routes to pages that use custom styles. 7. Created a default route and a create-activity route in static-config.js. 8. Implemented the CreateActivity page with input fields for users to type in activity details. 9. Implemented the default activities page to fetch all created activities using the GET /activities Netlify Function. 10. Deployed the entire application to Netlify using the netlify CLI. By following this tutorial, you have built a Jamstack web application that uses serverless technology for data storage and retrieval. You can now expand this application with more features or use the provided code as a starting point for your own projects.
