Dockerized microservices using Node.js, .Net Core and Nginx.

Registration Microservices

Dockerized microservices using node.js, .net core and Docker Compose. Can run on the AWS, Azure, Google, IBM or other clouds. This code should be considered a template or spec to designing dockerized SaaS applications using a microservices pattern.

Notes

This sample uses a containerized MongoDB instance. For a production use case you will want to consider a managed database instance.

In a production enviornment you would want to mix in some cloud services such as a queue from AWS or Azure in place of Redis for your messaging system.

The goal with this project is to create a completly standalone set of components that can be run locally as an orchastrated microservice built with containers. I wanted to limit the amount of 3rd party dependancies and wanted a flexible codebase that cane be refactored to work with any of the major cloud platforms.

Installation

Registration Microservices uses Docker Compose to deploy images associated with each project. Each project has an associated Dockerfile.

You can run locally using:

docker-compose up

Configuration

Docker Secrets and runtime enviornment variables. Production solutions should consider RPC solutions such as Envoy or gRPC in place of Nginx.

Projects (Public)

Public Web Service

Public endpoints for registering new accounts. Uses Express, Joi and Hapi.

Public Website

Web UI for registering new accounts. Uses the MEAN stack.

Projects (Private)

Private Web Service

Internal service used by other microservices to interact with the registration system. Uses Express, Joi and Hapi.

Private Admin Console

Internal administration site that gives you visibility into new registrations, account provisioning and overall management of the microservice.

Initializer

.Net Core Console App that checks for required SQL tables and storage accounts. Creates them if they do not exist.

Worker

NodeJS worker that picks up new registrations from the Mongo instance and provisions the accounts. Should be replaced with a message queuing system in production enviornments.
