Fortune Cookie Shop

This is a sample application that displays some of the problems we face once an application runs in production, especially in a distributed architecture. Services are not available or they take their time answering requests or they produce errors.

The application consists of an Angular frontend (module fortune-cookie-app) and a couple backend services implemented with Spring Boot.

Running the application

To run the application, follow these steps:

1. run gradlew fortune-cookie-app-server:bootrun
2. run gradlew fortune-cookie-fulfillment-service:bootrun
3. run gradlew fortune-cookie-mailing-service:bootrun
4. run gradlew fortune-cookie-product-service:bootrun
5. run gradlew fortune-cookie-edge-server:bootrun
6. open http://localhost:8000 in your browser

How the application works

Suffice to say that you can create quotes for fortune cookies and order those cookies with the application. Finding out about the details, communication paths and pitfalls within the application is part of the learning experience ;).
