This project consists of creating a web application that allows for online voting, this project was built on a micro service architecture.
Our project is built mainly with Spring Boot, but we also have a service running in NodeJS.
As this project is built on a micro-service architecture, Having a Service Discovery server is important, luckly Eureka Exists in the spring environment, it's a powerful and easy to implement tool developed by Netflix to dynamically register services and track their status.
We opted to use JWT as our mean of securing the communication, mainly as it's the easiest solution to implement across both Spring and NodeJS and because it's lightwight.
To make sure our solution is clean, maintainable and scalable we opted to use a API Gateway to route all our requests, We used Zuul in combination with Eureka to route requests dynamically to registered services.
We used Docker to assure a smooth running environment, with each micro-service in a seperate container.
We the following databases in this project:
- H2
