Architecture

Online Boutique is composed of microservices written in different programming languages that talk to each other over gRPC and HTTP; and a load generator which uses Locust to fake user traffic.

Features

• Kubernetes: the app is designed to run on Kubernetes (both locally , as well as on the cloud).
• Docker: this forked sample can also be executed only with Docker.
• gRPC: microservices use a high volume of gRPC calls to communicate to each other.
• OpenTelemetry Traces: all services are instrumented using OpenTelemetry available instrumentation libraries.
• OpenTelemetry Collector: all services are instrumented and sending the generated traces to the OpenTelemetry Collector via gRPC. The received traces are then exported to the logs and to Jaeger.
• Jaeger: all generated traces are being sent to Jaeger.
• Synthetic Load Generation: the application demo comes with a background job that creates realistic usage patterns on the website using Locust load generator.
• Prometheus: all generated metrics are being sent to Prometheus.
• Grafana: all metric dashboards are stored in Grafana.
