# notable dependencies

- Go kit

- OpenCensus

- gRPC

- Twirp

- Zipkin

# build services

Services can be built by running go generate in the root of the project:

```sh

$ go generate ./...

```

# running the services

Get a Zipkin instance running by following the directions as found

[here](https://zipkin.io/pages/quickstart). This will allow the services

instrumented with OpenCensus to export tracing details to a Zipkin backend.

Get etcd running for service discovery. Instructions to get it up and

running can be found [here](https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/dl_build.html).

Now you can start the various services included in this demo.

Example:

```sh

#!/bin/sh

nohup ./ocg-qrgenerator &>qrgenerator.log &

nohup ./ocg-device      &>device.log      &

nohup ./ocg-event       &>event.log       &

nohup ./ocg-frontend    &>frontend.log    &

```

Each service will dynamically select available ports to listen on and advertise

these on etcd. It is possible to run multiple instances for each service on a

single machine. The clients can automatically load balance and retry on the

available services.
