URL shortener

URL shortener with Kubernetes (MicroK8S)

I have worked with many products leverage K8S, however, I was too busy to work on the codebase and delivery, I hardly have many chances too understand what is K8S, and parts of it. Therefore, on the way learning (to design) Microservice Arch, I want to grab K8S and learn it seriously.

Installation

Prerequisites:

• Docker (24.0.4)
• Docker Compose (v2.19.1)
• NodeJS (16.20.1)
• MicroK8S (v1.27.2)
• Kubernetes (v1.27.3)

Setup:

Since docker-compose.yaml is provided, you can simply run: docker compose up -d to run full application locally in detach mode.

For anyone who in hardcore mode, you can install each component saparately:

• MySQL (8.0)
• Nginx (1.25)

Notes:

• This project is inspired by a system design topic: Pastebin.
• Pre-mature optimization may be painful.
• Microservices may not always be suitable for every application. There is a good video talking about StackOverFlow Arch which embrace Monolithic architecture.
