This project demonstrates microservice applications interacting with one another including a thymeleaf based frontend application.
This Spring Boot Microservice application showcases the following features:
- Setting up individual Spring Boot application that talk to each other for Bootstore application.
- Dockerizing the applications using GitHub Actions workflow.
- Running the application in Docker container.
- Usage of RestClient for interaction between different microservice applications.
- Publishing of events to RabbitMQ using Outbox Pattern.
- Implementation of email notification via mailhog.
- Frontend application based on Thymeleaf rendering and usage of AlpineJS for adding functionality on web page.
- Cart functionality for Order placement.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 17 or later
- Apache Maven
- Docker client
The project (multi-module maven project) consists of the following applications:
catalog-service: A Spring boot application that manages the books for the bookstore application.order-service: A Spring boot application that is used to create and manage Order from the user.notification-service: A Spring boot application that interacts with RabbitMQ to fetch the events and sends out the email notification to the user.api-gateway: A Spring boot application that serves as a single point of entry for api usage.bookstore-webapp: (End User facing application) A Spring boot web mvc application using Thymeleaf for html rendering and AlpineJS for adding functionality to the html page
Once the application is running, you can interact access the application using following endpoints:
- Bookstore web application:
http://localhost:8080
The above endpoint will show the main page for the Bookstore web application along with Cart in the upper right side.
Happy coding!
