39 Moving the Front end application from Go to Next.js

[xoscar]

Fixes #39.

Changes

In this PR we are introducing the new front-end version. In this version, we are focusing on having a browser-side client written in Typescript.

The frontend was built based on the proposal presented during the last SIG call (July 25th 2022) and can be found here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1klWGRAcFYJLBrXtMMRGHJvwQaMt1JPWnO7qQzFdJti4/edit?usp=sharing

Next Steps:

1. Add instrumentation.
2. Add unit tests and integration tests.

For significant contributions please make sure you have completed the following items:

• Appropriate CHANGELOG.md updated for non-trivial changes
• Design discussion issue Restyle and update product catalog, frontend, etc. #39

Thanks for your contribution, @xoscar!
Would you update the PR title to capture the intention? It's hard to understand what "39 web application" is unless someone reads through the details (and later it will cause pain if someone want to search old PRs).

Could we get the checks passing on this to move it forward?

[julianocosta89]

I believe that we can also get rid of the social network icons, we are not using them within the FE.

[julianocosta89]

I didn't mark the PR as need work because I'm will be OoO for some time, but went through all files and added my review!

This was a really massive one 😅

[julianocosta89]

Ah, btw...
The loadgen is failing because the FE url is different now.
Maybe we could consider either moving from 8081 to 8080 or updating the loadgen endpoint as well.

Hey @mic-max thanks for reviewing the PR 😁 I just updated it based on your changes, let me know if that's good enough to merge the changes. @cartersocha I think we need to press the button one last time 😄

I don't know how to effectively review any PR that has more than a hundred files. Maybe it should be changed to a series of smaller PRs?

The idea of one big PR was to not have intermediate commits where the frontend might be broken, this PR adds all of the features the GO version used to have plus the new redesigns.

The next ones should be fairly small as we will only focus on one section like:

1. Instrumentation.
2. E2E tests.
