Microservices Architecture

 Microservices Architecture: Microservices is a web architecture that breaks an application into small, independent services that communicate with each other using APIs. Each microservice is responsible for a specific task, and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. Here is an example of a microservices architecture using Node.js and Docker:


javascript


// service1.js

const express = require('express');

const app = express();


app.get('/', (req, res) => {

  res.send('Service 1');

});


app.listen(3000, () => {

  console.log('Service 1 running at http://localhost:3000/');

});

In this code, we create a simple Express app that listens on port 3000 and returns the message "Service 1" when the root URL is requested.


javascript


// service2.js

const express = require('express');

const app = express();


app.get('/', (req, res) => {

  res.send('Service 2');

});


app.listen(4000, () => {

  console.log('Service 2 running at http://localhost:4000/');

});

In this code, we create another Express app that listens on port 4000 and returns the message "Service 2" when the root URL is requested.


yaml


// docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:

  service1:

    build: .

    ports:

      - "3000:3000"

  service2:

    build: .

    ports:

      - "4000:4000"

In this code, we define a Docker Compose file that creates two services based on the Node.js image. Each service maps its container port to a host port, allowing the services to be accessed from the host machine.


To run this example, you can create a directory with the three files (service1.js, service2.js, and docker-compose.yml) and run the following command in the directory:



docker-compose up

This will build and start the two services in separate containers, allowing them to communicate with each other over the network.


Overall, web architecture is a critical aspect of web development, and choosing the right architecture for your application can greatly impact its scalability, performance, and maintainability.
