rosetta-beer-store

The very same beer store implemented in various stacks. Also, front ends and back ends are interchangeable

Why

To compare stacks, analyze solutions, maybe give you a glimpse on what each approach can do.

Also because it's fun.

What do we have so far

Working API

• beers listing
• beer detail

Service Implementation

technology / feature	REST API	CORS	Transparent JSON serialization	DB schema migration	Pooled db connection	Hot-reload development mode
javascript, express, knex	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES
java, JEE	YES	NO	NO	YES	YES	YES
java, spring boot	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	NO
go, gorm, gomigrate, martini	YES	YES	NO	YES	NO	NO

Client Implementation

technology/feature	Transparent JSON serialization	Material Design implementation	SPA	Hot-reload development mode
javascript,vue,browserify	YES	YES	YES	YES
cordova, javascript, vue, vue-cli	YES	YES	YES	NO
javascript, angularjs, CDN	YES	YES	YES	NO
javascript, react, webpack	YES	YES	YES	YES

How does it work

Each project will have one README.md explaining how to fire the engines.

You will need at least one service and one client running in order to see a complete work.

We'll have clients and services.

Services must provide the very same REST API so their clients shall connect on it in a transparent way.

Therefore all services must use port 3000.

You shall run just one service at time.

The clients have not such limitation.

However you must correctly point them to the service address.

This is not a simple language comparison, but tooling as well.

Is there more than one way to set up a java service project? Let's have it!

More than one way to set up a javascript client project! Let's go!
