1 year ago Hello, Adding event broker has few purposes in the project:
- it is used not only to trigger port file scanning but also transferring found ports into database
- it make project easily expandable in future, all microservices share same way of communication
- database inside docker was nice to have, therefore communication between service scanning file to database was needed
- adding new API call is easy: create new endpoint, create new type of message and adapt existing or create new microservice
- in my solution potential failure handling can be solved using saga pattern
Hey!
Could you please explain what's the purpose of the event broker in this architecture given that the API serves solely as a trigger for loading the file?
