Summary

This project has the following objectives:

• Get familiar with reading error stack trace and debugging code.

• Convert a monolith architecture based docker-compose application into a microservices based architecture.

• Monolith architecture diagram

Prerequisites and Techstack

• Python
• Docker
  • docker
  • docker-compose
  • Follow the guides based on your operating system.

• Internet
  • Pull docker image python:3.8-alpine beforehand to avoid connectivity issues.

Steps for Execution

• Build & Run

# under the microservices directory, under M2M directory
# NOTE: For any code changes to be reflected, the build command must be rerun, and then up
docker-compose build
# run without the -d flag incase you want to observe the logs
docker-compose up -d

• To stop the services in detached mode

docker-compose down

Usage

• M2M project can be used to break monoliths into microservices.
• This is crucial to upload applications on cloud.
• Thereby this project helps in converting stand-alone applications into cloud-based or cloud-supported applications.

Microservices-based architecture diagram

The diagram only shows the services already defined within the microservice architecture for visualization purposes. More services can also be added.
