Microservices Playground

This solution is a playground for testing and exploring different concepts and approaches in microservice pattern. It is built using .NET 6 along with other technologies. The application consist of a simplified video rental store website.

Deployment

• Install Docker
• You can run locally with docker compose. Go to the src directory and run:

docker compose up -d

Development Roadmap

• Asynchronous event driven communication between services using RabbitMQ
• API Gateway (BFF) service to hide hide complexity of the underlying microservices from client application
• Auth service and user management using Identity
• Unit, integration and E2E tests
• Add gRPC communication to some services
• Implement circuit braker and retry patterns for resilience improvements
• Health status website for monitoring the microservices
• Centralized log storage service
