booking-microservices-express-js

A practical and imaginary microservices for implementing an infrastructure for up and running distributed system with the latest technology and architecture like Vertical Slice Architecture, Event Driven Architecture, CQRS, Postgres, RabbitMQ and Express in Node.Js. 🚀

💡 This project is not business-oriented and most of my focus was in the thechnical part for implement a distributed system with a sample project. In this project I implemented some concept in microservices like Messaging, Tracing, Event Driven Architecture, Vertical Slice Architecture, CQRS.

Structure of Project

In this project I used a mix of clean architecture, vertical slice architecture and I used feature folder structure to structure my files.

Each microservice has its dependencies such as databases, files etc. Each microservice is decoupled from other microservices and developed and deployed separately. Microservices talk to each other with Rest or gRPC for synchronous calls and use RabbitMq or Kafka for asynchronous calls.

We have a separate microservice Identity for authentication and authorization of each request. Once signed-in users are issued a JWT token. This token is used by other microservices to validate the user, read claims and allow access to authorized/role specific endpoints.

I used RabbitMQ as my MessageBroker for async communication between microservices using the eventual consistency mechanism. Each microservice uses amqp to interface with RabbitMQ providing, messaging, availability, reliability, etc.

Microservices are event based which means they can publish and/or subscribe to any events occurring in the setup. By using this approach for communicating between services, each microservice does not need to know about the other services or handle errors occurred in other microservices.

I treat each request as a distinct use case or slice, encapsulating and grouping all concerns from front-end to back. When adding or changing a feature in an application in n-tire architecture, we are typically touching many "layers" in an application. We are changing the user interface, adding fields to models, modifying validation, and so on. Instead of coupling across a layer, we couple vertically along a slice. We minimize coupling between slices, and maximize coupling in a slice.

With this approach, each of our vertical slices can decide for itself how to best fulfill the request. New features only add code, we're not changing shared code and worrying about side effects.

Instead of grouping related action methods in one controller, as found in traditional ASP.net controllers, I used the REPR pattern. Each action gets its own small endpoint, consisting of a route, the action, and an IMediator instance (see MediatR). The request is passed to the IMediator instance, routed through a Mediatr pipeline where custom middleware can log, validate and intercept requests. The request is then handled by a request specific IRequestHandler which performs business logic before returning the result.

The use of the mediator pattern in my controllers creates clean and thin controllers. By separating action logic into individual handlers we support the Single Responsibility Principle and Don't Repeat Yourself principles, this is because traditional controllers tend to become bloated with large action methods and several injected Services only being used by a few methods.

I used CQRS to decompose my features into small parts that makes our application:

Using the CQRS pattern, we cut each business functionality into vertical slices, for each of these slices we group classes (see technical folders structure) specific to that feature together (command, handlers, infrastructure, repository, controllers, etc). In our CQRS pattern each command/query handler is a separate slice. This is where you can reduce coupling between layers. Each handler can be a separated code unit, even copy/pasted. Thanks to that, we can tune down the specific method to not follow general conventions (e.g. use custom SQL query or even different storage). In a traditional layered architecture, when we change the core generic mechanism in one layer, it can impact all methods.

How to Use Migrations

Note: For easy using of migrations commands in typeorm, I add some scripts in package.json and base on these scripts we can use below commands to generate and run migrations easily.

For generating a new migration use this command in the root of each microservice:

npm run migration:generate -- src/data/migrations/new-migration-name

Also for running migration use this command in the root of each microservice:

npm run migration:run

How to Run

Docker Compose

Use the command below to run our infrastructure with docker using the infrastructure.yaml file at the root of the app:

docker-compose -f ./deployments/docker-compose/infrastructure.yaml up -d
Todo

I will add docker-compsoe for up and running whole app here in the next...

Build

To build each microservice, run this command in the root directory of each microservice where the package.json file is located:

npm run build

Run

To run each microservice, run this command in the root of the microservice where package.json is located:

npm run dev

Test

To test each microservice, run this command in the root directory of the microservice where the package.json file is located:

npm test

Documentation Apis

Each microservice has a Swagger OpenAPI. Browse to /swagger for a list of endpoints.

As part of API testing, I created the booking.rest file which can be run with the REST Client VSCode plugin.
