Microservices

This example shows a couple of simple microservices monitored with Vert.x Zipkin

The Joke service provides an HTTP microservice for jokes stored in a PostgreSQL.

The HTTP server and the database client contribute traces.

You can query this service with curl:

> curl http://localhost:8082

The Hello service provides an HTTP microservice for saying hello. This service uses the Joke service to tell the user a joke.

The HTTP server and the HTTP client contribute traces.

You can query this service with curl:

> curl http://localhost:8081

The Gateway is a simple HTTP gateway that exposes both Joke and Hello services.

The HTTP server and the HTTP client contribute traces.

You can query this service with curl:

> curl http://localhost:8080/hello
> curl http://localhost:8080/joke

You need to start an Zipkin server

> docker run -d -p 9411:9411 openzipkin/zipkin

Jaeger provides a visual console

You can run the Hello, Joke and Gateway services in your IDE with Zipkin Example
