Coolstore Microservices

Introduction

CoolStore Website

CoolStore Website is a containerised polyglot microservices application consisting of services based on .NET Core, NodeJS and more running on Service Mesh. It demonstrates how to wire up small microservices and build up a larger application using microservice architectural principals.

It's mainly building for .NET ecosystem with a lot of popular libraries and toolkits which have used by .NET community for a long time. Additionaly, it uses and experiements new components and libraries to build the modern application with cloud-native apps approach.

We have the Vietnam Microservices Community Group to write, discuss and sharing tips and tricks of how can we build and maintain microservices architectural projects.

Technical stack

Technology

  • .NET Core 2.2 SDK: .NET Framework and .NET Core, including ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core
  • nodejs: Node.js JavaScript runtime
  • typescript: Superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output

Tool and library

  • Windows 10: The OS for developing and building this demo application
  • Windows Subsystem Linux - Ubuntu OS: The subsystem that helps to run easily the bash shell on Windows OS
  • Docker for Desktop (Kubernetes enabled): The easiest tool to run Docker, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes on Mac and Windows
  • Docker Compose: Define and run multi-container applications with Docker
  • Kubernetes / AKS: The app is designed to run on Kubernetes (both locally on "Docker for Desktop", as well as on the cloud with AKS)
  • Istio: Application works on Istio service mesh
  • helm: The best package manager to find, share, and use software built for Kubernetes
  • Envoy Proxy: Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy
  • NetCoreKit: Set of Cloud-native tools and utilities for .NET Core
