moleculer/demo repository overview

⁠Demo project for Docker

This is an example project to try Moleculer with Docker and Kubernetes.

⁠Usage with Docker

⁠Run a container with all services

docker run -e SERVICES=services -p 3000:3000 moleculer/demo

⁠Run every services in an individual container

In this case you should also start a transporter, e.g. NATS.

docker run -d -e SERVICEDIR=services -e SERVICES=greeter moleculer/demo
docker run -d -e SERVICEDIR=services -e SERVICES=products moleculer/demo
docker run -d -e SERVICEDIR=services -e SERVICES=api -p 3000:3000 moleculer/demo

⁠Usage with Docker Compose

This command starts all services in individual containers, a NATS server as transporter, a MongoDB server & Traefik as reverse proxy.

docker-compose up -d

⁠Usage with Docker Swarm

This command starts all services in individual containers, a NATS server as transporter, a MongoDB server & Traefik as reverse proxy.

docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml moleculer

⁠Usage with Kubernetes

This command starts all services in individual pods, a NATS server as transporter, a MongoDB server and register an ingress for API service via http://moleculer.127.0.0.1.nip.io/⁠ URL.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moleculerjs/docker-demo/master/k8s.yaml

If you don't have installed ingress controller, execute this script⁠ to install Nginx Ingress Controller.

If you don't have installed storage controller, execute this script⁠ to install Longhorn Storage Controller⁠.

⁠Services

api: API Gateway services
calc: Sample service with heavy mathematical calculation to test auto scaling of K8s.
greeter: Sample service with hello and welcome actions.
products: Sample DB service with MongoDB if process.env.MONGO_URI is defined, otherwise with NeDB.

⁠Test the running project

In case of Docker or Docker Compose

export HOSTNAME=127.0.0.1:3000

In case of Kubernetes

export HOSTNAME=moleculer.127.0.0.1.nip.io

Call the greeter.hello action

curl http://$HOSTNAME/api/hello

Call the greeter.welcome action with params

curl http://$HOSTNAME/api/greeter/welcome?name=Moleculer

Create a product item

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "Samsung Galaxy S10", "category": "phones", "price": 299.99, "quantity": 10}' http://$HOSTNAME/api/products

List all products

curl http://$HOSTNAME/api/products

⁠Connect from CLI

Port forwarding the NATS service port
```
kubectl port-forward --address 0.0.0.0 service/nats 4222
```
If you have firewall, don't forget to allow this port.
Connect to the deployed application from Moleculer CLI
```
moleculer connect nats://<YOUR-CLUSTER-IP-ADDRESS>:4222
```

⁠Horizontal Pod Auto Scaling

The deployment script contains a HorizontalPodAutoscaler⁠ definition for the calc service. It scales the number of calc service pod between 2 and 5 by CPU usages.

Benchmark the calc.pi action to increase the CPU usages to trigger the K8s Horizontal Pod Autoscaler:

ab -c 5 -n 500 http://moleculer.127.0.0.1.nip.io/api/pi
