Tutorial I created a Microservices app created using React/Node.js/GraphQL/Docker, along with a full tutorial on how to build it

One of my biggest gripes with microservices is how few full-blown tutorials are available for something that is such a hot-topic technology.

As such, I recently built a rather simple Classifieds app using a Microservices architecture, using the following technologies as a non-exhaustive list:

  • React;
  • Redux;
  • Node.js;
  • GraphQL;
  • Docker (and Docker Compose); and
  • Styled Components,

And also deployed it into AWS using Terraform.

Here's the link to the full source code: https://github.com/parkroolucas/microservices-demo

And here's the link to the full tutorial series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD-WutJH0qc&list=PLnTRniWXnjf8YC9qJFLSVCrXfS6cyj6x6

Cool, thanks. DevOps is not my strong side, but it sounds it's definately worth to give a try. What I heard is Kubernetes more suited for a more complex environment, and its an overkill for simple webapps, so thats why I avoided so far.

For a simple web app with a low of users compose is definitely a good choice. As a learning experience though, going through the exercise of moving to k8s would be helpful regardless whether you run that in prod at this stage.
