Exploring Node.js Microservice application with gRPC
This project is separated into two parts:
- Server: where gRPC serves the remote calls defined in the proto file
- Client: Express/Node/Bootstrap web page to CRUD the server operations.
To run this app locally, run the following commands in separate command line windows:
- Inside the /client folder:
node index - Inside the /root folder:
npm start
Go to http://localhost:3000/ and try the Mountains application.
Running on Kubernetes
This project includes Dockerfiles to package the client and server into container images. In turn, there is a Katacoda scenario called Node.js to Kubernetes that shows how this application runs on Kubernetes.
