Up and running with Sample Spring-Cloud based app

There are two ways to run the entire application:

• On Local Machine
• Using Docker

On Local Machine

Running it all local is simple, do the following in sequence, in four different terminal windows:

Start up Eureka

cd sample-eureka
../mvnw spring-boot:run

Start up Config server

cd sample-config
../mvnw spring-boot:run

Start up Pong Service

cd sample-pong
../mvnw spring-boot:run

and test with:

curl -v -X POST \
  -H "Content-type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
   http://localhost:8082/message \
   -d '{
   "id": "test", 
   "payload": "hello"
}'

Start up Gateway

cd sample-gateway
../mvnw spring-boot:run

and test with:

curl -v -X POST \
  -H "Content-type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
   http://localhost:8082/message \
   -d '{
   "id": "test", 
   "payload": "hello"
}'

Start up Ping Service

cd sample-ping
../mvnw spring-boot:run

If all the applications have come up cleanly, the endpoint should be available at http://localhost:8080

On Docker

Running using Docker is even simpler, assuming that docker-compose and docker are installed on your box, just run the following:

Build the docker images for the microservices

mvn clean package docker:build

Start up Docker containers

docker-compose up

That is it, the endpoint should be available at http://dockerhost:8080
