Project roadmap

  1. 01

    Scaffold the services

    ~2h

    Design service boundaries and scaffold separate catalog, order, and inventory Spring Boot services.

  2. 02

    Set up service discovery

    ~2h

    Configure Eureka and register each microservice for discovery.

  3. 03

    Implement inter-service calls

    ~2.5h

    Have the order service check stock with the inventory service using RestTemplate or WebClient.

  4. 04

    Set up the API gateway

    ~2h

    Configure Spring Cloud Gateway to route external requests to the correct backend service.

  5. 05

    Containerize the services

    ~2.5h

    Write Dockerfiles for each service and a docker-compose setup to run them together.

  6. 06

    Add resilience

    ~2h

    Add circuit breakers so a downstream service failure doesn't cascade across the system.
