Discover the fundamentals of microservices architecture and how to implement them from code to production, using Node.js, Docker and Azure. You'll use Express, Fastify, and NestJS to build 3 microservices, and Vite to create the web interface of our application.
- Node.js v18+
- Docker v20+

You can use GitHub Codespaces to work on this project directly from your browser: select the Code button, then the Codespaces tab and click on Create Codespaces on main.
You can also use the Dev Containers extension for VS Code to work locally using a ready-to-use dev environment.
This project is structured as monorepo and makes use of NPM Workspaces.
Here's the application architecture schema:
npm install
npm startThis command will use Docker Compose to instantiate the 3 services, along with the Azure Static Web Apps CLI emulator to run the website and authentication server.
The application will then be available at http://localhost:4280.
npm run docker:buildThis command will build the container images for all 3 services.
./azure/setup.shThis command will ask you to log in into Azure and GitHub, then set up the AZURE_CREDENTIALS repository secrets for deployment.
