This project is based on Hands-on Microscervice by Peter Fisher I am building on top of Peter's code to create my personal referencing implementation similar what I am used to with Spring Cloud. As with Peter's project, this is not meant to be production quality code, but rather it is a test bed for microservice concepts in Python.
The architecture is pictured below:
- Front-End - Peter's frontend is written in Python Flash and Jinja2. User's can login, logout, browse products, put products in their card, and checkout.
- API Gateway - The gateway is the single entry point into the backend system. It is responsible for routing and composition.
- Order Service - This micro-service contains the business logic for orders.
- Product Service - This micro-service contains the business logic for products.
- User Service - This micro-service contains the business logic for users.
- Distributed Logging - Coming soon
- Distributed Tracing - Coming soon
- Configuration Service - Coming soon
- Event Service - Coming soon
To run this project with Docker change to the front-end and follow the instructions in front-end/README.md.
Setup a virtual environment for each service.
cd front-end
python3 -m venv --copies venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r app/requirements.txt
deactivate
cd ..cd order-service
python3 -m venv --copies venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r app/requirements.txt
deactivate
cd ..cd product-service
python3 -m venv --copies venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r app/requirements.txt
deactivate
cd ..cd user-service
python3 -m venv --copies venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r app/requirements.txt
deactivate
cd ..It is best to open each service as a separate PyCharm project.
PyCharm should automatically detect the virtual environment create above. If not,
try to do that manually as shown below, but you should't have to.
If you are using PyCharm be sure to mark each app directory as a Sources Root.
Right click on each of the following directories, Mark directory as --> Sources Root
- front-end/app
- order-service/app
- product-service/app
- user-service/app
