Microservices with Golang

This a learning project to understand how to build microservices using Golang.

Services

• Broker Service: This service is responsible for handling the incoming requests and routing them to the appropriate service.
• Auth Service: This service is responsible for handling the authentication and authorization of the users. It uses PostgreSQL as the database.
• Logger Service: This service is responsible for handling the logging of the requests and responses in a MongoDB database.
• Mail Service: This service is responsible for managing an email server built using MailHog.
• Listener Service: This service is responsible for listening to the RabbitMQ queue and processing the messages.

Technologies

• Golang: The primary programming language used to build the services.
• Docker: The services are containerized using Docker.
• Docker Compose: The services are orchestrated using Docker Compose.
• PostgreSQL: The database used for the Auth Service.
• MongoDB: The database used for the Logger Service.
• RabbitMQ: The message broker used for the Listener Service.
• MailHog: The email server used for the Mail Service.
• RPC: The communication protocol used between the services.
• gRPC: The framework used for optimizing the RPC communication.
• Protobuf: The serialization format used for the gRPC communication.

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone github.com/suhel-kap/go-microservices

2. Everything is containerized using Docker. So, you need to have Docker installed on your machine.

3. Use the make command to build the images and start the services:

make up_build

4. To start the frontend, use the following command:

make start

5. To stop the services, use the following command:

make down
