Here you find links to several examples of the https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html[microservice architectural style].

toc::[right, preamble]

== Examples

==== Sock Shop A (quite full-fledged) demo application, including nice UI plus monitoring. Implemented and maintained by Weaveworks.

Their application is https://microservices-demo.github.io/[online] and they have extensively documented their https://github.com/microservices-demo/microservices-demo/blob/master/internal-docs/design.md[architecture]

• https://github.com/microservices-demo/microservices-demo[Sock Shop]

==== http://microservices-book.com/[Eberhard Wolff] Eberhard has implemented several examples. Designed around a fictional eCommerce enterprise, they consist of three microservices: One to process orders, another to handle customer data and a third to handle items in a catalogue.

You find versions for different technologies:

==== https://www.manning.com/books/the-tao-of-microservices[Richard Rodger] Richard, author of https://www.manning.com/books/the-tao-of-microservices[The Tao of Microservices] has implemented a search engine for Node.js modules with a microservice architecture. He describes this example in his book, but a basic documentation is provided with the (open source) implementation. Btw: The system is available online at http://nodezoo.com/[nodezoo.com].

From his documentation: [quote, Richard Rodger (Nodezoo.com): From his documentation] Nodezoo is a search engine for Node.js modules. The nodezoo search engine is an example of a real-world service built using Node.js microservices. Each microservice is published in its own github repository along with all of the necessary config to run the system locally or live . The codebase is intended to be used as an example, and as a starting point for your own projects.

• https://github.com/nodezoo[Nodezoo at Github], contains all the examples.
• https://github.com/nodezoo/nodezoo-workshop[Nodezoo Workshop], the entry-point into the actual code.

The last commits in these repositories are somewhat dated - I'm not sure if they are actively maintained.
