CoolStore Web Application - 🎡 Modern Application on Dapr and Tye ⛵

CoolStore Website is a containerised microservices application consisting of services based on .NET Core running on Dapr. It demonstrates how to wire up small microservices into a larger application using microservice architectural principals.

This repository based on some of the old libraries. So be careful if you use it in your production environment!!!

We are working on practical-clean-ddd for the new version of building the .NET apps with domain-driven design, clean architecture with Docker, Kubernetes, Tye, and Dapr in a practical way 👍

Read documentation for more information.

The business domain is inspired from CoolStore project by JBoss Demo Central and Red Hat Demo Central.

Dapr Building Blocks

Try it

Make sure you have dapr and tye installed on your machine!

Only wanna see wth is it?

$ tye run

Go to http://localhost:8000, and you're able to access to several endpoints whenevever it's ready as below:

• Web App: http://localhost:3000
• Web Api Gateway: http://localhost:5000
• Identity Server: http://localhost:5001

Wanna go deeply to see how can we built it!

1. Start core components

$ tye run tye.slim.yaml

2. Start dapr apps locally via dapr cli

$ dapr run --app-port 5001 --app-id identityapp dotnet run -- -p src\Services\Identity\IdentityService\IdentityService.csproj

$ dapr run --app-port 5002 --app-id inventoryapp dotnet run -- -p src\Services\Inventory\InventoryService.Api\InventoryService.Api.csproj

$ dapr run --app-port 5003 --app-id productcatalogapp dotnet run -- -p src\Services\ProductCatalog\ProductCatalogService.Api\ProductCatalogService.Api.csproj

$ dapr run --app-port 5004 --app-id shoppingcartapp dotnet run -- -p src\Services\ShoppingCart\ShoppingCartService.Api\ShoppingCartService.Api.csproj

Now, you can start to develop, debug or explore more about dapr with tye via Coolstore Apps.

OS, SDK, library, tooling and prerequisites

Infrastructure

• Windows 10 - The OS for developing and building this demo application.
• WSL2 - Ubuntu OS - the subsystem that helps to run easily the bash shell on Windows OS
• Docker for desktop (Kubernetes enabled) - The easiest tool to run Docker, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes on Mac and Windows
• Kubernetes / AKS - The app is designed to run on Kubernetes (both locally on "Docker for Desktop" as well as on the cloud with AKS)
• helm - Best package manager to find, share, and use software built for Kubernetes
• dapr - An event-driven, portable runtime for building microservices on cloud and edge
• tye - A developer tool that makes developing, testing, and deploying microservices and distributed applications easier

Back-end

• .NET Core 5 - .NET Framework and .NET Core, including ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core
• IdentityServer4 - Identity and Access Control solution for .NET Core
• YARP - A toolkit for developing high-performance HTTP reverse proxy applications
• FluentValidation - Popular .NET validation library for building strongly-typed validation rules
• MediatR - Simple, unambitious mediator implementation in .NET
• EF Core - Modern object-database mapper for .NET. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations
• Scrutor - Assembly scanning and decoration extensions for Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
• serilog - Simple .NET logging with fully-structured events
• NEST - Elasticsearch.Net & NEST

Front-end

• nodejs 10.x - JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine
• typescript - A typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript

CI/CD

Debug and Tracing Apps

• Setup Kibana with TraceId, HandlerName, RequestPath, level and filter with HandlerName

Then, you can find the exception happend in code via Kibana dashboard with settings above. Grab the TraceId, then paste it to Zipkin dashboard, then you can see the tracing of this request as the following picture
