About the project

Microservice is the approach of breaking down large monolith application into individual applications specializing in a specific service/functionality.
This approach is often known as Service-Oriented Architecture or SOA.
In a microservice architecture, the application is broken down into several separate services that run in separate processes. There is a different database for different functionality of the application and the services communicate with each other using the HTTP, AMQP, or a binary protocol like TCP, depending on the nature of each service.

This is a simple e-shop app that uses microservices, the aim of this project is to gain hands-on-experience developing microservices using python FastAPI, communicate with a JS frontend and deploy docker images to a registry.
