express-zipkin-playground

This repository contains an example of an express + zipkinjs integration. The project contains:

• A web service that shows a date.
• An API that returns the current date.
• a docker-compose file to run zipkin.

Running the example

To run the example you need to follow these steps:

1. $ docker-compose up: This command will start the docker zipkin container on 9411.
2. $ yarn: This will download the js dependencies.
3. $ yarn api: This will start date-service on port 3001.
4. $ yarn web: This will start web-backend on port 3000.
5. Go to http://localhost:3000. This will show you the current date.
6. Search the trace in http://localhost:9411/zipkin/. Can you tell what's happening? :)
