Microservices

Objectives

This project aims to discover the container concepts and tools, and practice these tools by creating a microservices architecture with docker and docker-compose. Additionally, as a cloud and DevOps student, you will gain insight into key containers and docker concepts as follows:

  • Containers, is a unit of software that packages code and its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably across computing environments.
  • Docker, is a set of "platform as a service" products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.
  • Dockerfile, is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image.
  • Docker Images, is a read-only template that contains a set of instructions for creating a container that can run on the Docker platform.
  • Docker Networks, it enables a user to link a Docker container to as many networks as he/she requires.
  • Docker Volumes, Volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting data generated and used by Docker containers.
  • Docker Compose, Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application's services.

Tips

  • Spend time on the theory before rushing into the practice.
  • Read the official documentation of Docker.

Any lack of understanding of the concepts of this project may affect the difficulty of future projects, take your time to understand all concepts.

Be curious and never stop searching!

Each operation in Dockerfile is a layer in the image, You must design it appropriately to avoid duplicate or useless layers in the image.

It is not recommended to use 'latest' in your Dockerfile, instead of that you can specify the version in the tag.

Instructions

You have to install Docker in your Linux virtual machine, you will also need it in the audit.

You have to implement this architecture: architecture

You will use the services you developed in the crud-master project.

You are required to create Dockerfiles for each service and call them in your docker-compose.yml (Each service should have its container for optimal performance.). To ensure performance, the containers should be created from the penultimate stable version of either Alpine or Debian, depending on your preference. The corresponding service and Docker image must share the same name. This implies that you must build your project's Docker images and you are not allowed to use pre-built Docker images or services like DockerHub, except for Alpine and Debian.

Docker Containers:

  • inventory-database container is a SQL database server that contains your inventory database, it must be accessible via port 5432.
  • billing-database container is a SQL database server that contains your billing database, it must be accessible via port 5432.
  • inventory-app container is a Node.js server that contains your inventory-app. It will be connected to the inventory database and accessible via port 8080.
  • billing-app container is a Node.js server that contains your billing-app. It will be connected to the billing database and consuming the messages from the RabbitMQ queue. It will be accessible via port 8080.
  • RabbitMQ container is a RabbitMQ server that contains the queue.
  • api-gateway-app container is a Node.js server that contains your api-gateway-app. It will forward the requests to the other services and it's accessible via port 3000.

Containers must be restarted in case of failure!

Docker Volumes:

  • inventory-database volume contains your inventory database.
  • billing-database volume contains your billing database.
  • api-gateway-app volume contains your Api gateway logs.

Docker Network:

  • You must have a docker network that establishes the connection between all services inside your docker host.
  • Any outside request must be able to access only the api-gateway-app via port 3000.

All resources in your infrastructure must be targeted and managed by docker-compose.

You don't have to push your credentials and passwords to your repo, the credentials and passwords must be in the .env file, and this file must be ignored in the .gitignore file.

Don't push your passwords to Git, unless you want to throw a thief's party with free drinks and no bouncers on duty!

Documentation

You must push a README.md file containing full documentation of your solution (prerequisites, configuration, setup, usage, etc).

Bonus

If you complete the mandatory part successfully and you still have free time, you can implement anything that you feel deserves to be a bonus.

Challenge yourself!

Submission and audit

You must submit the README.md file and all files used to create, delete and manage your infrastructure: docker-compose, Dockerfiles, scripts and so on.

The infrastructure must be able to be created, deleted, and managed only by docker-compose. In the audit you will be asked different questions about the concepts and the practices of this project, prepare yourself!
