Microservices Scaffold

Overview

The Python Microservice Scaffold is a Flask-based project structure that demonstrates how to organize a microservice project. It is built on the PyMS package, which follows the microservice chassis pattern similar to Spring Boot in Java or Gizmo in Golang. PyMS provides libraries, best practices, and guidelines for building microservices in Python, focusing on handling cross-cutting concerns like externalized configuration, logging, health checks, metrics, and distributed tracing.

Features

• Flask Microservice Project Structure: Demonstrates a well-organized Flask microservice project layout.
• Built on PyMS Package: Utilizes the PyMS package which offers microservice chassis pattern capabilities.
• Cross-cutting Concerns Handling: Provides solutions for externalized configuration, logging, health checks, metrics, and distributed tracing.

Summary

The Python Microservice Scaffold provides a structured approach for building microservices using Flask. By leveraging the PyMS package, developers can benefit from established patterns and best practices for handling common cross-cutting concerns in microservice architectures. Users are encouraged to contribute to the project by opening issues or pull requests to enhance the stability and usefulness of PyMS.
