Microservices starter (using Turborepo)

This a JavaScript microservices setup based on Turborepo I use for quick prototyping of complex structures.

What's inside?

This turborepo uses npm as a package manager. It includes the following packages/apps:

Apps and Packages

apps/service-workers/task-runner: a task runner using express and bee-queue
apps/service-workers/task-monitor: a task monitor app using bull-arena, bee-queue and express
apps/service-workers/pdf-worker: a sample service worker app
apps/queue-workers/dummy-queue-worker: a sample queue worker app
apps/queue-workers/hello-queue-worker: another sample queue worker app
apps/queue-workers/pdf-queue-worker: another sample queue worker app

Each package/app is 0% TypeScript.

Utilities

This turborepo does not have additional tools already setup for you:

No TypeScript for static type checking
No ESLint for code linting
No Prettier for code formatting

Build

To build all apps and packages, run the following command:

cd microservices
npm run build

Develop

To develop all apps and packages, run the following command:

cd microservices
npm run dev

Demo

To develop all apps and packages using the root .env file, run the following command:

cd microservices
npm run demo

Remote Caching

Turborepo can use a technique known as Remote Caching to share cache artifacts across machines, enabling you to share build caches with your team and CI/CD pipelines.

By default, Turborepo will cache locally. To enable Remote Caching you will need an account with Vercel. If you don't have an account you can create one, then enter the following commands:

cd microservices
npx turbo login

This will authenticate the Turborepo CLI with your Vercel account.

Next, you can link your Turborepo to your Remote Cache by running the following command from the root of your turborepo:

npx turbo link
