The Ticket App Microservices Backend is a Node.js Typescript-based backend that utilizes microservices architecture to provide a seamless user experience. This backend is composed of several microservices including Auth, Expiration, Common, Order, Payment, and Ticket. Auth handles authentication and authorization, while Expiration uses the Bull package to set expiration time for tickets and delay events for 15 minutes after order creation. Common is an npm package that shares the code of events interfaces. Order handles order creation and cancellation with firing events, Payment handles payment using Stripe, and Ticket handles ticket creation and updates. To handle message streaming between services, this backend uses NATS streaming service built on top of NATS-streaming.
The code is written in Typescript, making use of interfaces, classes, and generators to ensure a well-organized and easily maintainable codebase. Kubernetes service and deployment were used to create a deployment for each service and its database and to build ingress and set up the NATS streaming service. This Ticket App Microservices Backend provides a reliable and efficient backend for your ticket app needs. The Ticket App Microservices Backend is a reliable and efficient solution for ticket app needs, with Mongoose version numbers utilized to solve concurrency issues between services.

Clone this repository to to your preferred directory:
cd my-folder
git clone https://github.com/ahmedeid6842/Tickets.git
Install this project with kubectl :
kubectl apply -f ./infra/k8s
After following the above instructions, the Kubernetes cluster should be up and running.
- To verify the health of all Kubernetes cluster components and ensure that they are in a ready state, you can run the following command in the terminal:
kubectl get all
- Alright, it's showtime! π₯ Hit
ticketing.dev/api/users/currentuser
and BOOM! π₯ You should see the microservices working like a charm. β¨π§ββοΈ
Note: the reason you are receiving
{"currentUser":null}
is because you are not currently logged in. However, this indicates that the services are operational and functioning properly.
