book_store

A simple micro-service architecture implementation of a Book Store API using Docker container infra structure.

Usage

• Docker must be installed and running.
• Pull the code and navigate inside the folder and run docker-compose up. This will start the docker multi-container setup.
• Navigate to http://localhost:5000/ you will see the page Welcome to your Book Store page up and running.
• For adding data to the book-library refer to this API Documentation

Architecture

Book_store consists of two micro-service or containers working together they are

1. book-library
2. website

1. book-library service

---

• This is where the books are stored hence the book-library name.
• The main api data is stored in book_registry folder which contains __init__.py
• Using the following for api :
  • flask for creating a rest-ful api
  • shelve for database
• In the dockerfile we mention the image required for our api - in our case python
• In requirements.txt we mention the packages required by out python api :
  • Flask
  • flask-restful

2. website service

---

• This is a simple website made using php.
• For now fetching data from the book-library micro-service and displaying it.
• In docker-compose.yml we define the services that need to be bundled together in the main docker container, also ports
