This repository contains a microservices application written in Node.js with the user interface implemented in React. The application is comprised of several microservices, such as Posts, Comments, Query-Posts, Moderation, and Event-Bus. The Event-Bus microservice is a basic implementation of an event bus.
This application is designed to be deployed within a local Kubernetes cluster, where the microservices and React app server are deployed in separate pods. Cluster IPs are set up for each service, and an ingress controller with nginx-server is established to operate under the host "posts.com". Skaffold automatically manages the creation and updating of Kubernetes objects with the skaffold.yaml file.
To run the microservices in a local Kubernetes cluster using Skaffold, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository.
- Install Docker and Kubernetes if you haven't already.
- Install Skaffold by following the instructions on the Skaffold website.
- In your terminal, navigate to the root directory of the project.
- Run
skaffold devto build and deploy the microservices and React app server to your local Kubernetes cluster. - Wait for Skaffold to finish deploying the microservices.
- Open your browser and go to http://posts.com to view the React app.
That's it! Once Skaffold finishes deploying the microservices, you should be able to use the Posts microservices application by visiting http://posts.com in your web browser.
