# Wordsmith App

Wordsmith is the demo project originally shown at DockerCon EU 2017 and 2018.

The demo app runs across three containers:

- **[api](api/Dockerfile)** - a Java REST API which serves words read from the database
- **[web](web/Dockerfile)** - a Go web application that calls the API and builds words into sentences
- **db** - a Postgres database that stores words

## Architecture

## Build and run in Docker Compose

The only requirement to build and run the app from source is Docker. Clone this repo and use Docker Compose to build all the images. You can use the new V2 Compose with `docker compose` or the classic `docker-compose` CLI:

```shell
docker compose up --build
```

Or you can pull pre-built images from Docker Hub using `docker compose pull`.

## Deploy using Kubernetes manifests

You can deploy the same app to Kubernetes using the [Kustomize configuration](./kustomization.yaml). It will define all of the necessary Deployment and Service objects and a ConfigMap to provide the database schema.

Apply the manifest using `kubectl` while at the root of the project:

```shell
kubectl apply -k .
```

Once the pods are running, browse to http://localhost:8080 and you will see the site.

Docker Desktop includes Kubernetes and the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/overview/) command line, so you can work directly with the cluster. Check the services are up, and you should see output like this:

```text
kubectl get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
db ClusterIP None 55555/TCP 2m
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 443/TCP 38d
web LoadBalancer 10.107.215.211 8080:30220/TCP 2m
words ClusterIP None 55555/TCP 2m
```

Check the pods are running and you should see one pod each for the database and web components and five pods for the words API:

```text
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
