microservice-project

This is a demo microserivce project

How to use:

1. Run docker compose up in root directory to create and start a docker container for the node app.

   • It serves the HTML for the book listings on loalhost:90

2. Run docker compose up in the flask_app directory to create and start a docker container for the python app.

   • It provides GET and POST endpoints to calculate the average rating of a book.

These container talk over the local host by using the special Docker URL host.docker.internal. Direct communication through container names is also possible. This requires some adjustments (comment in appropriate sections).
