A Simple Docker Example to Illustrate Discovery

Open nickreese opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Your example projects are fantastic, but I think a simple 2 service docker project would show the power of Moleculer's killer ability to facilitate microservice discovery better than anything else.

For people familiar with Docker, it is a low risk, quick way to validate if something does what you expect.

We almost went the traditional route of using Consul and something like Zeit's micro. Man, I'm so glad we spun up the Conduit test project which I happen to find.

In my mind, a dead simple 2 service project with hot reloading enabled by default is what Moleculer needs to really hockey stick adoption.

Could you explain what do you think to demonstrate? Or maybe if you could make an example repo?

@icebob Here is a repo: https://github.com/nickreese/moleculer-docker-development

The goal is that in 5 minutes, someone can see the power of moleculer. Happy to polish more if needed, but using something like this as an explainer video on the homepage would be insanely powerful.

To be clear, the CLI that you've built is great, but I initially dismissed it all as "too much magic" the goal here is to explain what is actually happening behind the scenes.
