NestJS-NATS-Microservices

This project demonstrates how to create a microservice architecture using NestJS, MySQL, Docker, and NATS.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Node.js
• Docker
• Docker Compose

Tools Overview

NestJS

NestJS is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.

MySQL

MySQL is a relational database management system based on SQL – Structured Query Language.

Docker

Docker is a platform for containerizing applications to ensure consistency across different environments.

NATS

NATS is a high-performance messaging system for cloud-native applications and microservices architectures.

Project Structure

This project includes the following microservices and components:

• http-api-gateway: Handles routing and serves as the entry point for the microservices.
• users-microservice: Manages user-related operations.
• payments-microservice: Handles payment processing.

Running the Project Locally

1. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your machine.

2. Build and start all services (including microservices, MySQL, and NATS) with Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up --build

   This command will spin up the http-api-gateway, users-microservice, payments-microservice, as well as the MySQL and NATS services.

3. Verify the setup by checking the logs and ensuring that all services are running correctly.

Conclusion

This setup provides a complete microservice architecture using NestJS, MySQL, Docker, and NATS. Customize and extend it to fit your specific application requirements.
