# microservices-base-kafka
Basic microservices project that includes a gateway (api-gateway) and 3 microservices (user/product/client) and a messaging queue
This variation utilizes Kafka as the messaging queue so if one microservice goes down, it will receive messages when it gets back up.
### Prerequisites
- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)
- Install [Apache Kafka](https://kafka.apache.org/) or run it in a docker container ([How to](https://www.baeldung.com/ops/kafka-docker-setup))
### Installing
- Clone the repository
```
git clone https://github.com/19EB/microservices-base
```
- Install dependencies on api-gateway
```
cd api-gateway
npm install
```
- Install dependencies on each microservice (user, product and client)
```
cd services/
npm install
```
### Environment variables
This project uses the following environment variables:
##### api-gateway
```
# Port
PORT=8000
# User service
USER_SERVICE_URL='http://localhost:8001'
# Client service
CLIENT_SERVICE_URL='http://localhost:8002'
# Product service
PRODUCT_SERVICE_URL='http://localhost:8003'
```
##### microservice
```
# Database
DB=''
# Service port
PORT=8001
# Apache Kafka configuration
KAFKA_BROKER='localhost:29092'
```
### Running the project
- If you plan on using Docker for running Kafka, I have included "kafka" folder that contains the docker-compose file with zookeeper and kafka.
```
cd kafka
docker-compose up -d
```
- Start each microservice from its own directory
Development mode
```
cd services/
npm run dev
```
Production mode
```
cd services/
npm start
```
- Start the api-gateway
```
cd api-gateway
npm start
or
npm run dev
```
Navigate to `http://localhost:8000`
### Endpoints
The project has couple endpoints to ping each other and one normal endpoint.
`http://localhost:8000/user/list`
`http://localhost:8000/user/ping-client`
`http://localhost:8000/user/ping-product`
`http://localhost:8000/client/list`
`http://localhost:8000/client/ping-user`
`http://localhost:8000/client/ping-product`
`http://localhost:8000/product/list`
`http://localhost:8000/product/ping-user`
`http://localhost:8000/product/ping-client`
