File Sharing App

This project demonstrates a file sharing application built with microservices architecture, Docker containers, and AWS cloud integration. It showcases the following:

Microservices:

• Golang API: Handles file uploads and pushes them to a Redis task queue.
• Python Service: Consumes tasks from the Redis queue, processes files, and updates user data in a PostgreSQL database.

Docker Containers:

Each microservice is packaged as a Docker container for easy deployment and scalability.

AWS Cloud Integration:

The application is deployed on AWS

Task Queue (Redis):

Used for asynchronous communication between microservices and improved scalability.

Usage

• The golang API is the entry point for the application, clients can be developed to interact with it, or use postman.
• The client application will upload textfiles, which the Golang API will receive.
• The Golang API will push the uploaded file including details like username of the file owner to the Redis task queue.
• The Python service will continuously consume tasks from the queue.
• For each task, the Python service:
  • Retrieves the username.
  • Connects to the PostgreSQL database.
  • Checks if the user's text file already exists.
  • If yes, appends the uploaded file content to the existing text file.
  • If no, stores the uploaded file content as a new text file for the user.
