Microservices Demo
This project is a microservices reference architecture and polyglot suite designed as a containerized application demo. It provides a deployable environment that functions as a container orchestration testbed to evaluate the performance and stability of various orchestration tools.
The suite implements a polyglot architecture where independent services are written in different languages, each managing its own private database. It utilizes an event-driven distributed system model, employing asynchronous messaging and decoupled data stores to coordinate workflows across separate business domains.
The project covers infrastructure provisioning automation and the rollout of diverse applications via container-based deployment scripts. It includes capabilities for distributed system visualization to map interactions and dependencies between running services, as well as path-based request routing for managing internal and external traffic.
Features
- Microservice Reference Implementations - Provides a polyglot e-commerce application that serves as a reference implementation for microservices patterns and container orchestration.
- Polyglot Microservices - Implements a polyglot microservices architecture using different programming languages and databases for different business domains.
- Service-Private Data Stores - Ensures each individual service manages a private data store to prevent tight coupling between microservices.
- Container Orchestration Deployments - Uses pre-built container images and orchestration scripts to ensure consistent service environments across platforms.
- Container Orchestration Environments - Provides a platform for deploying and managing container orchestration clusters for stability and performance testing.
- Microservices Deployments - Automates the rollout of independently scalable microservices across container platforms.
- Polyglot Application Deployments - Manages the build and runtime processes for a microservices application written in multiple programming languages.
- Database-per-Service Patterns - Implements the pattern where each microservice manages its own private database to ensure loose coupling.
- Event-Driven Architectures - Employs an architectural pattern of event triggers and asynchronous processing to decouple system components.
- Container Orchestration Testbeds - Functions as a deployable environment to evaluate the performance and stability of various container orchestration tools.
- Event-Driven Messaging Systems - Implements an architecture for responding to data streams and triggers via asynchronous messaging between services.
- Automated Cluster Provisioning - Uses automated tools for provisioning hosts and installing clusters across container platforms.
- Demo Applications - Ships a set of portable images and scripts as a demo to showcase distributed system topologies.
- Infrastructure - Uses automated shell and configuration files to handle the repeatable setup of clusters and service networks.
- Architecture Visualizers - Provides graphical representations of microservice relationships and architectural dependencies.
- Service Request Routing - Directs internal microservice calls to the correct instances using logical grouping and path-based routing.
- Distributed System Visualizers - Provides a visual mapping of interactions and dependencies between independent services to understand network flow.
- Path-Based Routers - Provides a networking layer that directs traffic to different backend services based on URL path prefixes.
