Introduction
Cinema is an example project which demonstrates the use of microservices for a fictional movie theater. The Cinema backend is powered by 4 microservices, all of witch happen to be written in Go, using MongoDB for manage the database and Docker to isolate and deploy the ecosystem.
- Users Service: Provides users information.
- Movie Service: Provides information like movie ratings, title, etc.
- Show Times Service: Provides show times information.
- Booking Service: Provides booking information.
The Cinema use case is based on the project written in Python by Umer Mansoor.
The project structure is based in the knowledge learned in the book: Web Development with Go by Shiju Varghese, ISBN 978-1-4842-1053-6
Prerequisite
- Docker 1.12
- Docker Compose 1.8
We must add virtual domains in order to use each api entry point. By default we are using: movies.local, bookings.local, users.local and showtimes.local
Virtual domains has been defined in docker-compose.yml file and configured in /etc/hosts file. Add the following line in your /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 movies.local bookings.local users.local showtimes.local
Source Code
You can download the source code using this link.
