Intelli-Mall AWS Architecture

How to start the application

Starting the monolith:

docker compose --profile monolith up

Starting the microservices

docker compose --profile microservices up  

Note: my local machine is Mac M2 ARM64, be sure to locate the docker image with the tag version compatible with your machine architecture.

How to generate .pb.go files for the microservices

let's take baskets microservice for example, once you have your .proto files like api.proto and events.proto specified in basketspb folder:

cd baskets && go generate

buf generate inside the generate.go file will generate based on what is configured in the buf.gen.yaml file.

Note: mockery tool in the Makefile @go install github.com/vektra/mockery/v2@latest will generate files starting with mock_ that contains a mock implementation of the BasketServiceClient interface defined in the basketspb package. The mock implementation allows you to test your code in isolation from the real implementation of the BasketServiceClient interface, making it easier to test and debug your code.

For more info on using buf, please go to buf tutorial

The monitoring services

Use /cmd/busywork to simulate several users making requests to perform several different activities:

cd cmd/busywork
go run .

You can increase the number of clients by passing in the -clients=n flag, with an upper limit of 25.

The Jaeger UI for tracing

Open http:// localhost:8081 in your browser to open Jaeger.

Viewing the monitoring data

Clicking on one of the rows in the graph will provide you with additional details.

The Prometheus UI

We also have the metrics to check out in Prometheus at http://localhost:9090

Searching for the received messages counts for the cosec service

Grafana UI for more compelling intepretation - Intelli Mall App Dashboard

Opening localhost:3000/ and then browsing for dashboards will show the two dashboards that are installed under the intellimall folder.

How much activity you see in the dashboard will depend on how many clients you have running in the busywork application and the random interactions that the clients are performing.

OpenTelemetry Collector dashboard
