# Bulletin Board - Reviews Service

## Description

This is the reviews service for the bulletin board application. Reviews refer to the _users_ who advertise things, _not_ the advertised things. The server is written in Node.js. The client is written using Preact and SAP UI5 Web Components. The purpose of this application is to demonstrate Microservice development and related tradeoffs. In particular, the service bulletinboard-ads is tightly coupled to this service, through a synchronous HTTP call to an API for a very specific feature that the advertisements service needs. This is a typical pitfall in Microservice development and can be mitigated by leveraging eventual consistency & asynchronous communication.

## Requirements

The following tools are required to run the service locally:
- Node.js, v16 or later
- Docker engine, v20 or later
- Alternatively, a PostgreSQL database, v9.6 or later
- Optionally a Bourne shell
- Provided shell scripts make the startup easier
- Git bash is a good choice for Windows users

## Local Setup

- Start a pre-configured database using Docker: `./start-db.sh`
- If you want to start the database manually, or use your own PostgreSQL installation without Docker, have a look into the shell script to know the required configuration for version, database name, port, credentials and schema
- Install the required dependencies: `npm ci`
- Run the tests: `npm test`
- Start the service: `npm start`
- The service will listen on port 9090

## Cloud Setup

### Cloud Foundry

For a deployment on Cloud Foundry, a pre-configured [manifest.yaml](manifest.yaml) with placeholders is provided.

### Kubernetes

For a deployment on Kubernetes, a pre-configured [k8s-minimal.yaml](k8s-minimal.yaml) with placeholders is provided, along with a basic [Dockerfile](Dockerfile).
