This is a short microservice practice project.

Microservices Project

This project demonstrates the implementation of microservices architecture using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Eureka for service discovery, and Feign for service communication. The project consists of four microservices: Quiz, Question, ApiGateway, and ServiceRegistry. Separate databases are used for the Question and Quiz services.

Microservices Overview

• Quiz Service: Manages quiz-related operations.
• Question Service: Handles questions and answers.
• ApiGateway: Routes requests and acts as the entry point for communication.
• ServiceRegistry: Registers and discovers microservices.

Prerequisites

• Java 17
• Gradle
• Docker (optional for database containers)

Getting Started

Follow these steps to build and run the microservices:

1. Build the Projects

cd quiz-service
./gradlew clean build

cd ../question-service
./gradlew clean build

cd ../api-gateway
./gradlew clean build

cd ../service-registry
./gradlew clean build

Run the Services

Start the Service Registry:

cd service-registry
./gradlew bootRun

cd ../quiz-service
./gradlew bootRun

cd ../question-service
./gradlew bootRun

cd ../api-gateway
./gradlew bootRun

Microservices Details

1. Quiz Service

• Endpoint: /quiz/**
• Description: Manages quiz-related operations.

2. Question Service

• Endpoint: /question/**
• Description: Handles questions and answers.

3. ApiGateway

• Endpoint: /8765
• Description: Routes requests and serves as the entry point.

4. Service Registry

• Endpoint: [/eureka](http://localhost:8761/)
• Description: Registers and discovers microservices.

Service Communication

The services communicate with each other using the Eureka service registry and Feign for client-side load balancing. The ApiGateway routes requests to the appropriate microservices based on the specified paths.
