go-microservices-PG

go-microservices-PG

A playground to learn making microservices in GO making use of protobuf and gRPC as the underlying transport protocol.

Tech Stack

The tech stack includes golang, mongodb, grpc, docker, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, NATS, CircleCI, Terraform and go-micro.

Dockerisation

We have used multistage builds to keep the size of the containers minimal.

Service Docker

The dockerfile for service is present in the "service" folder in the project root.

1. cd /root/of/the/project
2. docker build -t consignment-service -f ./service/Dockerfile .
3. docker run -p 50051:50051 consignment-service:latest

Client Docker

The dockerfile for client is present in the "client" folder in the project root.

1. cd /root/of/the/project
2. docker build -t consignment-client -f ./client/Dockerfile .
3. docker run -p 50051:50051 consignment-client:latest

The playground follows the 10-part tutorial on building microservices in Go by @EwanValentine.
