Getting started

To get the Node server running locally:

• Clone this repo
• npm install to install all required dependencies
• npm run dev to start the local server
• the API is available at http://localhost:3000/api

Multiple instances

You can run multiple instances of services. In this case you need to use a transporter i.e.: NATS. NATS is a lightweight & fast message broker. Download it and start with gnatsd command. After it started, set the TRANSPORTER env variable and start services.

TRANSPORTER=nats://localhost:4222

To get the Node server running locally with Docker

• Clone this repo
• Start with docker-compose: docker compose up -d. It starts all services in separated containers, a NATS server for communication, a MongoDB server for database and a Traefik reverse proxy
• Open the http://localhost:3000/api or http://docker-ip:3000/api

Scale up services

Run this command docker-compose scale api=3
