carrier-pigeon

A demo project showing a simple implementation of NATS using python and FastAPI.

carrier-pigeon within the dsm-portfolio architecture:

Setup

Ensure the following are setup and installed

• python (version 3.9 or later)
• poetry
• nats (or docker)

Running the Repo from Source

First, install the project with: poetry install

Then, to start the FastAPI application, use the command: poetry run uvicorn app.main:app --reload

For the app to be fully functional, you'll also need to start NATS.
This can be done using nats-server by simply running: nats-server
Or by using the official docker image as follows: docker run -p 4222:4222 -it nats:latest

The running FastAPI application will be available at localhost:8000/pigeon/ where you can play around with NATS subject publishing and subscribing!
