Monorepo Microservices Architecture Boilerplate

Introduction

9ssi7/mono is a boilerplate for a microservices architecture using Docker. It provides a solid foundation for building and deploying microservices-based applications. The boilerplate includes a backend and frontend application, and it can be used to create other microservices as well.

Benefits

Enforces modularity: A monorepo enforces modularity by keeping all the code for a project in a single repository. This makes it easier to manage and maintain the codebase.
Simplifies dependency management: A monorepo simplifies dependency management by allowing you to manage all the dependencies for a project in a single place. This reduces the risk of dependency conflicts and makes it easier to update dependencies.
Improves code sharing: A monorepo improves code sharing by allowing you to easily share code between different microservices. This can help to reduce code duplication and improve the overall quality of the codebase.
Facilitates continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD): A monorepo facilitates CI/CD by allowing you to automate the process of building, testing, and deploying your application. This can help you to release new features and bug fixes more quickly and reliably.

Getting Started

To get started with 9ssi7/mono, you can clone the repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/9ssi7/mono.git

Once you have cloned the repository, you can install the dependencies and start the application using the following commands:

cd mono
make install
make start

Adding Git Submodules

9ssi7/mono uses Git submodules to manage dependencies. To add a Git submodule, you can use the following command:

git submodule add https://github.com/user/repo.git path/to/submodule

Once you have added a Git submodule, you can update it using the following command:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Keeping Git Submodules Up-to-date

To keep your Git submodules up-to-date, you can use the following command:

git submodule update --remote

This will update the submodules to the latest version on the remote repository.

Applications

9ssi7/mono is a great choice for applications that:

Are composed of multiple microservices
Need to be deployed frequently
Need to be scalable
Need to be reliable

Testing

9ssi7/mono includes a set of tests that can be used to verify the functionality of the application. To run the tests, you can use the following command:

make test

Makefile

The Makefile provides a number of commands that can be used to build, test, and deploy the application.

Commands

build: Builds the application
test: Runs the tests
start: Starts the application
stop: Stops the application
deploy: Deploys the application

.gitmodules File

The .gitmodules file contains information about the Git submodules that are used by the project. This file is used by Git to manage the submodules.

The .gitmodules file contains the following information for each submodule:

The URL of the remote repository
The path to the submodule on the local filesystem
The revision of the submodule

Conclusion

9ssi7/mono is a powerful and flexible boilerplate for building microservices-based applications. It provides a number of features that can help you to build, test, and deploy your applications more easily.
