PHP Microservices

This project sets up two PHP microservices that can communicate with each other using Docker.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Building and Running the Services

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd php-microservices

2. Build and start the services using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up --build

3. Access Service 1 in your browser:

   http://localhost:8001
   

Stopping the Services

To stop the services, you can use:

docker-compose down

Communication Between Services

Service 1 communicates with Service 2 using the internal Docker network. The URL used in Service 1 with PHP to access Service 2 is http://service2:8002.

This setup allows for easy development and testing of microservices using PHP and Docker.
