Chat room app for tech assignment (microservices, Java 8, Spring Boot, WebSocket, REST, Kafka, Zookeeper)
Falcon Test - Chat room by Gergő Pásztor INSTALL & UNINSTALL See the 'INSTALL' file! FEATURES Chat room app: - Separated rooms - Send messages with WebSocket (WS /ws/chat) - Send messages with REST API (PUT /api/message) - Receiver messages with WebSocket (WS /ws/chat) - See all archive messages with REST API (GET /api/messages) - See archive messages in one room with REST API (GET /api/messages/<roomName>) Technology stack: - Language: Java 8 - Build system: Gradle - Framework: Spring Boot with MVC, Spring Data, Spring Integration, Spring Cloud Stream, Spring Cloud Service Discovery - Messaging: Kafka, WebSocket with STOMP - Database: Postgresql 9.4 with Hibernate (JPA) - Service discovery: Zookeeper - OS: Ubuntu (Docker image) - Running environment: Docker and Docker Composer DISCLAIMER I'm not a Spring master and I'm also not familiar with the Kafka before that, so almost all of my code is built with new technology from my point of view. That was fun, but maybe you know some tricks in the frameworks that I should use, but I don't know about it. CODE STYLE This app is very-very over-engineered, but hey, this is a tech assessment! I completely separated the DB layer from the domain layer and the endpoints (controller) from the domain layer. Messaging also separated from the other parts of the app. This is not necessary in this project, but important in a bigger one. One of the microservice architecture's disadvantages that you need to make some code duplications. This is a standard practice, because you need to completely separate the services. If your services have a common dependency and this dependency was changed somehow you will not know about that changes and your services will fail. To preventing this everybody needs to maintain the connection with the common dependency (like db schemas). This is why this code contains some duplications. ARCHITECTURE I used microservice architecture for this app. We will have 7 separated service, 4 from my code. You can also use this app as one. For example if you are a startup you can start with one app on one server and later separate the services to different servers. Also good for debugging. Create message: User ---HTTP--> REST API --|--Kafka--> Process ---JDBC--> DB |--Kafka--> Ws ---WebSocket--> Users in the room Get archive messages: User ---HTTP--> REST API ---JDBC--> DB Api This is the REST API service: - get archive messages: read (only) the db - create message: send message to the Kafka I used the CQRS pattern so later you can divide this service to two parts easily. This service only reads from the db so only one service writes the db. This is important in a microservice architecture to prevent a lot of possible mistakes. Frontend This is a normal MVC and/or static app for the app's frontend. This is separated from the APIs so you can change this code in a different speed and you can also specialize the environment for this type of task. For example you can use something more convenient and faster solution than Java for the static files. This app also contains a load balancer: it's using the Zookeeper to get the port of a REST API and a WebSocket endpoint. If you have more than one of this service it can handle the load balancing for you. Process This is a background process to process the incoming data and save them. Currently is very lightweight but in the real life this type of tasks are very heavy. The messages came from the Kafka and this app save them to the db. Ws This is the WebSocket endpoint service: - receive incoming messages: messages coming from the Kafka - create message: send message to the Kafka This is a gateway between the websocket and the Kafka. WebSockets need a special care from the DevOps side, because it's using a lot of port and I/O and the response time is matter. Usually you need special softwares (better tcp stack) for this type of servers. CommonDb This is not a real service, just a module in the project. Hibernate not tolerate different entity classes for the same table so I need to create this common db implementation and later use it in the Process and the Api service. This is a trade-off between the two type of usage. If you want to use this app as separated services you can easily copy this code to this two project. Or you can create a REST API for this module and create another real service on the top of the DB.
