Microservices by Example

This repository shows a simple example of an offer generation system. This is implemented using both RESTful and Eventing styles of microservice architecture.

The Brief

As a consumer I want to receive the best flight offers between Melbourne and Brisbane available to me. These offers should be personalised depending on my preferences. I can enter the following preferences

• Collect name and email - for marketing spam
• Level of Service (Full/Budget)
• If they are frequent flier
• Time of day

The Implementations

Eventing

Restful

Running the app

Requirements

• http://nodejs.org/
• sudo npm install -g bower
• boot2docker

Get all the dependencies

• cd ./frontend && bower install
• cd .. && cd ./backend/event && npm install
• cd ../.. && ./backend/restful && npm install

Make sure docker is up and running

• boot2docker start
• export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376
• export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/Users/braiden.judd/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
• export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

Run Rabbit MQ

• docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 -v :/data/log -v :/data/mnesia dockerfile/rabbitmq

Start the two backends (you may have to chmod 700 the scripts)

• ./backend/event/startEvent.sh
• ./backend/event/startEvent.sh

Host the frontend folder (you need to run a bower install first)

• cd ./frontend && python -m "SimpleHTTPServer"

NOTE: You might need to change the IP in the services for event to your boot2docker ip. Use the command boot2docker ip to find your IP.
