Fully featured microservices architecture including:

- load-balancing nginx proxy,

- cloud message queues,

- automated deployment to digitalocean with circleCI,

- containerization and bridging networks.

Uses docker images instead of python virtual environemnts

Step 1:

Create AMQPSCloud account and get URI string

Step 2:

Setup environment variables. Docker-compose files pull for these files in development.

Create .env files in /admin/.env and /main/.env

ADMIN ENV

cd admin vim .env

Add the following variables:

• AMQPS="<amqps_uri>"
• MYSQL_DATABASE="<db_name>"
• MYSQL_USER="<db_user>"
• MYSQL_PASSWORD="<db_userpass>"
• ALLOWED_HOSTS=<hosts_comma_separated>
• SECRET_KEY="<django_secret_key>"
• DEBUG=<1_for_dev_0_for_prod>

MAIN ENV

cd main vim .env

Add the following variables:

• AMQPS="<amqps_uri>"
• MYSQL_DATABASE="<db_name>"
• MYSQL_USER="<db_user>"
• MYSQL_PASSWORD="<db_userpass>"
• ALLOWED_HOSTS=<hosts_comma_separated>
• SECRET_KEY="<flask_secret_key>"
• DEBUG=<1_for_dev_0_for_prod>

Step 4:

Install Docker if haven't already done so. Check installation by running following command in terminal:

docker --version

-----Run Docker Containers-----

Admin App Container:

cd admin/ docker-compose up -d --build

Main App Container

cd main/ docker-compose up -d --build
