Application Architecture Example

This repo was built for learning purpose on how application architecture look like for monolith and micro services. It explains how the communication works between client and server as well as between services.

It introduces concept like event bus in a very easy way to understand.

How to use this repo?

To see the diagram explanation

1. Go to diagrams directory and open the diagram using draw.io

Bring up monolithic architecture

Using Docker

1. Go to monolithic directory, and run docker-compose up
2. Go to client directory inside monolithic and run npm start, install the dependencies first.
3. If you don't want to make any changes to the client, simply uncomment the client portion from docker-compose.yml

Using NPM

1. Go to each directory inside monolithic and run npm start

Bring up micro services - sync architecture

Using Docker

1. Go to micro-services-sync directory, and run docker-compose up
2. Go to client directory inside micro-services-sync and run npm start, install the dependencies first.
3. If you don't want to make any changes to the client, simply uncomment the client portion from docker-compose.yml

Using NPM

1. Go to each directory inside micro-services-sync and run npm start

Bring up micro services - async architecture

Using Docker

1. Go to micro-services-async directory, and run docker-compose up
2. Go to client directory inside micro-services-async and run npm start, install the dependencies first.
3. If you don't want to make any changes to the client, simply uncomment the client portion from docker-compose.yml

Using NPM

1. Go to each directory inside micro-services-async and run npm start
