This repository contains an example implementation of a microservices architecture using Node.js. The example demonstrates how to create and communicate between multiple microservices within a distributed system.

The project consists of several microservices, each responsible for a specific functionality. These microservices communicate with each other through APIs and are designed to be scalable, resilient, and independent of each other.

• Node.js: A JavaScript runtime environment for building server-side applications.
• Express.js: A web application framework for Node.js used for building APIs and web applications.
• axios: A promise-based HTTP client for making requests to other services.
• cors: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing middleware for Express.js to allow requests from other domains.
• nodemon: A utility to monitor for changes in your Node.js application and automatically restart the server.
• Skaffold: A command-line tool that facilitates continuous development for Kubernetes applications. Skaffold handles the workflow for building, pushing, and deploying applications in Kubernetes.

To deploy the microservices using Skaffold, follow these basic instructions:

1. Install Skaffold by following the instructions in the official documentation.

2. Ensure that you have a Kubernetes cluster configured and accessible from your local environment.

3. Navigate to the root directory of the project where the Skaffold configuration file (skaffold.yaml) is located.

4. Run the following command to deploy the microservices to your Kubernetes cluster:

This command will build and deploy the microservices defined in the skaffold.yaml file to your Kubernetes cluster. Skaffold will automatically watch for changes in your code and redeploy the microservices as needed.

• Implement health checks and monitoring for each microservice.
• Introduce service discovery and load balancing.
• Enhance error handling and resilience strategies.
• Add authentication and authorization mechanisms.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
