Spring Microservice Project with PostgreSQL

This project is part of a microservice architecture using Spring Boot. It connects to two PostgreSQL databases running in Docker containers: ms-employees and ms-projects.

🐘 PostgreSQL Setup with Docker Desktop

Two PostgreSQL containers are required:

• ms-employees (listening on port 5433)
• ms-projects (listening on port 5432)

Note: You can run these containers using Docker Desktop manually.

✅ Step-by-step Instructions

1. Open Docker Desktop
2. Go to the Containers tab and click on + Add Container
3. Set up each container as follows:

ms-projects Container

Property	Value
Image	postgres:15
Container Name	ms-projects
Port	5432:5432
Environment
- POSTGRES_DB	projects
- POSTGRES_USER	username
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD	password

ms-employees Container

Property	Value
Image	postgres:15
Container Name	ms-employees
Port	5433:5432
Environment
- POSTGRES_DB	employees
- POSTGRES_USER	username
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD	password

⚠️ Make sure both containers are running and accessible via their respective ports.

🚀 Running the Microservice

Once the PostgreSQL containers are up and running, you can start the Spring Boot microservice locally.

Prerequisites

• Java 17+
• Maven
• Docker Desktop (with both DB containers running)
• Eureka server running on port 8761
• Spring Cloud Config Server running on port 8888

Run the service

./mvnw spring-boot:run

The service will start on port 8090.
