A sample Typescript Node microservices backend project

Installation requirements

• Stable version of Node.js
• Kubernetes cli kubectl
• A local instance of kubernetes running, like minikube
• Nginx-ingress controller
• Docker engine
• Skaffold
• Update your OS hosts file to point ticketing.dev to your local Kubernetes cluster IP address
• Create local environment variables
  • JWT_KEY, it can be any string
  • STRIPE_KEY, it need to be a valid stripe developer secret key (test key will do)
• You might need to build each service's Docker image once manually before skaffold can do it for you
  • Go to each service project root and run: docker build -t {your_docker_id}/{service_name} .
  • Then push it to docker hub running: docker push {your_docker_id}/{service_name}

Running

• At the project root folder run skaffold dev
