Scapsulators

Spring 2022 Project

Functionality/Motivation

Here lies the pith of entire project: Weatherpedia.
We've implemented Continuous Integration using Circle-CI, and synchronous communication using REST-based microservices.
All microservices are completely dockerized and ready to interact with each other over the same docker network.
A Kubernetes cluster was configured and used for enabling Horizontal-Pod-Autoscaling (HPA) with self-healing pods.
All you need to do is run the entry-point script provided in this branch!
Note: There is a known issue for lack of Pyart support on an Apple Macbook, and it might cause errors in creating the weather-report GIF, inspite of dockerizing the Python service. We couldn't test our system on a Macbook just yet.

Head on over to our Wikis to view a working demo of the final application functionality.

Clone this repository/branch into your machine using git clone https://github.com/airavata-courses/scapsulators.git .

Simply click on the entry-point script: start-Weatherpedia.sh

Navigate to localhost:1000 and explore!

The services use REST for synchronous communication.

We intend to use a containerized Kafka streaming-service to implement a scalable and highly-available architecture, in the future.
