Hangman Istio Style

This is an implementation of the traditional game of Hangman. This application is broken into 3 separate web services:

• Dictionary
• Game
• Hangman

This application is driven via a CLI which connects to the Hangman service and tracks game progress and status.

The demo is deployed via Kubernetes and leverages an Istio service mesh to orchestrate the cluster. Inter-service communication can be dialed in by injecting envoys policies in the cluster.

The CLI connects to the Hangman service to start new games and issue guesses. The game service tracks the game state as a user takes turn to guess a word. Words are provided by the dictionary service which loads a collection of words from disk and selects random words to guess.
