Here is an example README file for the microservice-com-temp project:
A commercial-grade template for building a scalable and maintainable microservices architecture, using Golang, GraphQL, gRPC, Elasticsearch, and PostgreSQL.
The microservice-com-temp template provides a foundation for building a robust and efficient microservices-based system. This project includes:
- A set of Go (Golang) services that communicate with each other using gRPC
- A GraphQL API layer for exposing the service functionality to clients
- Elasticsearch integration for storing and querying data
- PostgreSQL database for persisting business logic
The template consists of multiple microservices, each responsible for a specific domain or capability. These services are designed to be loosely coupled, allowing for independent development, deployment, and scaling.
A GraphQL API layer is provided on top of the service architecture, enabling clients to query and mutate data using a simple, intuitive interface.
Services communicate with each other using gRPC, which provides efficient, high-performance communication over HTTP/2 or TCP.
Elasticsearch is used for storing and querying large amounts of data. This allows for fast search capabilities and scalable indexing.
A PostgreSQL database is provided to store business logic and persist service state.
To get started with the microservice-com-temp template, follow these steps:
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/microservice-com-temp.git - Install dependencies using Go modules:
go mod init && go mod tidy - Run the services using Docker (recommended):
docker-compose up -d - Use a GraphQL client library to interact with the API
GraphQL API Documentation
This GraphQL API provides endpoints for managing accounts, products, and orders. It supports CRUD operations on these entities.
