ts-translation-service

Getting Started

This is the Translation Microservice.

Provides a capability for service users to maintain Welsh translations.

This enables Welsh Language Support for Professional Users; allowing EXUI users to choose to view the UI in Welsh

Prerequisites

• JDK 21
• Docker

Building and deploying the application

Building the application

The project uses Gradle as a build tool. It already contains ./gradlew wrapper script, so there's no need to install gradle.

To build the project execute the following command:

  ./gradlew build

Running the application

The easiest way to run the application locally is to use the bootWithCCD Gradle task.

Run the application

Run the application by executing the following command:

./gradlew bootWithCCD

This will start the application and its dependent services.

In order to test if the application is up, you can call its health endpoint:

  curl http://localhost:4650/health

You should get a response similar to this:

  {"status":"UP","components":{"diskSpace":{"status":"UP","details":{"total":67371577344,"free":42536177664,"threshold":10485760,"exists":true}},"ping":{"status":"UP"}}}

Should the docker containers fail to start, it is likely that the bootWithCCD plugin is not authorized to pull the container images from Azure.

Log in, using the commands below

  az acr login --name hmctspublic --subscription DCD-CNP-DEV
  az acr login --name hmctspublic --subscription DCD-CFT-Sandbox

Alternative to running the application

Create the image of the application by executing the following command:

  ./gradlew assemble

Create docker image:

  docker-compose build

Run the distribution (created in build/install/ts-translation-service directory) by executing the following command:

  docker-compose up

This will start the API container exposing the application's port (set to 4650 in this template app).

In order to test if the application is up, you can call its health endpoint:

  curl http://localhost:4650/health

You should get a response similar to this:

  {"status":"UP","components":{"diskSpace":{"status":"UP","details":{"total":67371577344,"free":42536177664,"threshold":10485760,"exists":true}},"ping":{"status":"UP"}}}

Other

Hystrix offers much more than Circuit Breaker pattern implementation or command monitoring. Here are some other functionalities it provides:

• Separate, per-dependency thread pools
• Semaphores, which you can use to limit the number of concurrent calls to any given dependency
• Request caching, allowing different code paths to execute Hystrix Commands without worrying about duplicating work
