This repository refers to the freeCodeCamp.org hands-on tutorial about microservices architecture and distributed systems using below frameworks and tools:

• Kubernetes
• Docker
• Flask
• Mysql
• Mongo
• Celery (Redis as a broker)

The application has been divided into chunks:

• Auth
• Converter
• Notification

Kubernetes component division:

• Flask Auth Microservice
• Flask Converter Microservice
• Flask Notification Microservice
• MySQL Microservice
• Mongo Microservice
• Celery Microservice

• Clone repo
• Install colima (ps. I have used colima as docker runner instead docker desktop, you can use any alternative to run docker locally.)
• Install Kubernetes
• Install MiniKube
• Run colima start or colima start --cpu 4 --memory --8 (you can set up cpu and memory according to your system's specifications)
• Run minikube start
• Go inside each application's manifest folder
  • Run kubectl apply -f ./
• To set up mysql user and database for the first time
  • Get inside mysql pod using k exec -it podname sh
  • Run mysql -p
  • Insert password root
  • Inside mysql shell run commands which are defined in auth/init.sql file.
• to bind port externally to send API using curl or postman:
  • Run minikube service service_name --url localhost:port_number

Special note: If you're interested in running this project using docker, If you are new to docker and willing to learn docker first, then you can also run it using docker directly.

Docker Repo & Postman Collection can be found here.

If you're interested in learning kubernetes by reading a book, Kubernetes Book can be a good resource to start as a beginner.
