HOW TO USE

Getting started

Prerequisites

In order to run this project you need to have Docker > 1.17.05 for building the production image and Kubernetes cluster > 1.11 for running pods installed.

Localhost alias

For examples below to work, edit /etc/hosts to add localhost alias

➜  go-api-boilerplate git:(master) cat /etc/hosts
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1       localhost go-api-boilerplate.local

Helm charts

Helm chart are used to automate the application deployment in a Kubernetes cluster. Once the application is deployed and working, it also explores how to modify the source code for publishing a new application release and how to perform rolling updates in Kubernetes using the Helm CLI.

To deploy application on Kubernetes using Helm you will typically follow these steps:

  1. Step 1: Add application to cmd directory
  2. Step 2: Build the Docker image
  3. Step 3: Publish the Docker image
  4. Step 4: Create the Helm Chart (extend microservice chart)
  5. Step 5: Deploy the application in Kubernetes
  6. Step 6: Update the source code and the Helm chart

helm-install                   [HELM] Deploy the Helm chart for application. Example: `make helm-install`
helm-upgrade                   [HELM] Update the Helm chart for application. Example: `make helm-upgrade`
helm-history                   [HELM] See what revisions have been made to the application's helm chart. Example: `make helm-history`
helm-dependencies              [HELM] Update helm chart's dependencies for application. Example: `make helm-dependencies`
helm-delete                    [HELM] Delete helm chart for application. Example: `make helm-delete`
telepresence-swap-local        [TELEPRESENCE] Replace the existing deployment with the Telepresence proxy for local process. Example: `make telepresence-swap-local BIN=user PORT=3000 DEPLOYMENT=go-api-boilerplate-user`
telepresence-swap-docker       [TELEPRESENCE] Replace the existing deployment with the Telepresence proxy for local docker image. Example: `make telepresence-swap-docker BIN=user PORT=3000 DEPLOYMENT=go-api-boilerplate-user`
aws-repo-login                 [HELPER] login to AWS-ECR

Running

To run services repeat following steps for each service defined in ./cmd/ directory. Changing BIN= value to directory name from ./cmd/{service_name} path.

STEP 1. Build docker image

make docker-build BIN=user

STEP 2. Deploy

  • Install dependencies
make helm-dependencies
  • Deploy to kubernetes cluster
make helm-install

This will deploy every service to the kubernetes cluster using your local docker image (built in the first step).

Each service defined in ./cmd/ directory should contain helm chart (extension of microservice chart) later on referenced in app chart requirements alongside other external services required to run complete environment like mysql. For more details please see helm chart

STEP 3. Debug

To debug deployment you can simply use telepresence and swap kubernetes deployment for local go service or local docker image. For example to swap for local docker image run:

make telepresence-swap-docker BIN=user PORT=3001 DEPLOYMENT=go-api-boilerplate-user

This command should swap deployment giving similar output to the one below:

➜  go-api-boilerplate git:(master) ✗ make telepresence-swap-docker BIN=user PORT=3001 DEPLOYMENT=go-api-boilerplate-user
telepresence \
	--swap-deployment go-api-boilerplate-user \
	--docker-run -i -t --rm -p=3001:3001 --name="user" user:latest

Kubernetes

The Dashboard UI is accessible at https://go-api-boilerplate.local/ thanks to kubernetes-dashboard helm chart. To see available tokens for login run:

kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep admin-user | awk '{print $1}')

To remove release run:

make helm-delete && kubectl delete customresourcedefinition certificates.certmanager.k8s.io && kubectl delete customresourcedefinition clusterissuers.certmanager.k8s.io && kubectl delete customresourcedefinition issuers.certmanager.k8s.io
