๐ Build a Production-Ready Microservices Application from Scratch!
In this comprehensive tutorial, I'll show you how to build NotesVerb - a scalable note-taking application using modern microservices architecture. This isn't just another CRUD tutorial - we're building enterprise-level software that you'd see in real production environments.
๐๏ธ What We're Building:
NotesVerb is a full-featured note-taking app with user authentication, note management, and a powerful tagging system. But the real magic is in the architecture - 4 independent microservices working together seamlessly.
๐ง Architecture Overview:
โข API Gateway (Port 8080) - Single entry point with routing & auth
โข Auth Service (Port 3001) - JWT authentication & user management
โข User Service (Port 3002) - Profile management & user data
โข Notes Service (Port 3003) - Note CRUD operations & tag relationships
โข Tags Service (Port 3004) - Tag management & organization
โข PostgreSQL - Database per service pattern
๐ป Tech Stack:
โข Node.js + TypeScript
โข Express.js REST APIs
โข Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL
โข JWT Authentication
โข Docker & Docker Compose
โข Jest Testing Framework
โข Microservices Communication
โจ Key Features You'll Learn:
โ Microservices architecture patterns
โ API Gateway implementation
โ Inter-service communication
โ JWT authentication & authorization
โ Database per service design
โ Input validation & sanitization
โ Error handling middleware
โ Health check endpoints
โ Docker containerization
โ Testing distributed systems
๐ฏ Perfect For:
โข Backend developers wanting to learn microservices
โข Developers preparing for senior roles
โข Anyone building scalable applications
โข Students learning modern architecture patterns
