An extended introduction to writing microservices with Scala and Play. Taken from Toby Sullivan's APIs and Microservices with Scala and Play Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaZIilhjcDw&t=2140s This is a practice run through a talk I'm giving at Applicative Conf in NYC on Friday. This is an abridge version just focusing on getting the microservice running. For the mysql database I am using a docker container. The command is `docker run --name mysql -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d mysql` And to access the database url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql user: root password: password
