SpringCube is an exploratory project to explore the usage benefits as well as the short-commings of microservice architecture, kubernetes Orchistration System, and Istio Service Mash. Sprincube, by itself, is an social app that showcase a person's account and his friends. Composed of 3 services, friend and account service provides the information, and bff aggregates the information obtained from the 2 atomic services.

Simple deploy packs existing jar files into images, then deploy onto kubernetes. To proceed, open 'simple-deploy' folder, run the following command in terminal(bash,terminal): (before that, ensure you have Istio installed and sidecar enabled)

minikube start
minikube docker-env
// istio add here
kubectl apply -f deploy.yml
./run.sh

Note: only move on after each successive comand are successful.

• The ./run.sh command execute a shell script that builds images locally from the .jar file in the repository
• Then it execute kubectl apply -f deploy.yml to deploy configuration file that applies the images on kubernetes

Complete deploy also includes build project into jar from its java source code locally, run the following commands here: before that, ensure you have istio installed and sidecar enabled

minikube start
minikube docker-env
// istio add here
kubectl apply -f deploy.yml
./run.sh
