CoolStore Website is a containerised microservices application consisting of services based on .NET Core, NodeJS and more running on Service Mesh. It demonstrates how to wire up small microservices into a larger application using microservice architectural principals. Read documentation for more information.

The business domain is inspired from CoolStore project by JBoss Demo Central and Red Hat Demo Central.

Usage with careful: The project is in development mode so that a lot of things shall change due to .NET Core 3.x upgrading.

Context Map

OS, SDK, library, tooling and prerequisites

Infrastructure

• Windows 10 - the OS for developing and building this demo application.
• Windows subsystem Linux - Ubuntu OS - the subsystem that helps to run easily the bash shell on Windows OS.
• Docker for desktop (Kubernetes enabled) - the easiest tool to run Docker, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes on Mac and Windows.
• Kubernetes / AKS - the app is designed to run on Kubernetes (both locally on “Docker for Desktop”, as well as on the cloud with AKS).
• helm - the best package manager to find, share, and use software built for Kubernetes.
• istio - application works on Istio service mesh.
• linkerd2 - a service mesh for Kubernetes and beyond.

Back-end

• .NET Core 3.x - .NET Framework and .NET Core, including ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core.
• IdentityServer4 - the Identity and Access Control solution for .NET Core.
• gRPC - a high-performance, open-source universal RPC framework.
• Redis - General purpose redis client.
• NEST - Elasticsearch.Net & NEST.

Front-end

• nodejs 10.x - JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine.
• typescript - a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.
• create-react-app - a modern web app by running one command.

High level software architecture

There are several individual µservices and infrastructure components that make up this app:

Installation

Development environment

Up and running with Docker and docker compose

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml build
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d

See https://vietnam-devs.github.io/coolstore-microservices/development/#up-and-running-with-docker-and-docker-compose

Staging and Production environments

Up and Running on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

See https://vietnam-devs.github.io/coolstore-microservices/development/#up-and-running-manually-on-docker-for-desktop-and-aks

CI/CD

Service mesh

istio provide a wealth of benefits for the organizations that use them. There’s no denying, however, that adopting the cloud can put strains on DevOps teams. Developers must use microservices to architect for portability, meanwhile operators are managing extremely large hybrid and multi-cloud deployments. Istio lets you connect, secure, control, and observe services.
