This is an e-commerce web application (under development) that I'm creating in my learning journey. I created it as an opportunity for learning docker, microservice, message-oriented communication,...etc.
The app is divided into multiple microservices which may be overcomplication but it's an opportunity for me for investigating this type of architectural pattern.
The app is divided into 3 microservices and an API gateway which includes the necessary logging, authentication, authorization and any other services that are independant of any microservice.
The following image illustrates this design:
As shown in the above image, the API gateway has services that act as middlewares and are meant to be "pluggable" in the API gateway which encourages the idea of isolation and separation of concerns.
Every microservice is in its own container so that it can be tested and deployed independently.
To run each microservice individually (make sure docker is installed and docker daemon is running), run the following command:
cd MICROSERVICE_DIR
docker-compose upFrontend: Angular, Typescript
Backend: PHP, Laravel
Database: MySQL, Eloquent ORM
