Proof of concept of a specs driven development microservices architecture using code generation.

Overview:

The POC microservices project is an example of a specs-driven development microservices (SDD) architecture that showcases code generation. The project is designed to demonstrate how a SDD can be organized and portrays the best practices of a microservices architecture. By keeping it simple yet including all necessary tools to be production-ready, the focus is more on the architectural setup rather than the business logic implemented.

Features:

  • Dockerized: The project can be quickly set up and run with Docker.
  • API Interaction: Users can create, update, and get articles, manage cart items, and perform various actions such as deleting articles from the cart and checking out the cart.
  • Authentication: Users can sign up and log in to obtain an auth token for accessing the user service.

Summary:

The POC microservices project serves as a comprehensive example of a specs-driven development microservices architecture that uses code generation. By offering a well-organized architecture and highlighting the key components of a microservices setup, this project demonstrates the importance of architectural practices in building production-ready microservices. The focus on simplicity and essential tools showcases the core concepts of a microservices approach while providing clear guidelines for setup and usage.
