SUSE Hack Week: Build Microservice Architecture with Kubernetes

Project Description

The aim of the project is to run a sample microservice app in Kubernetes. A simple app will be written in Python and work as an online store comprising of frontend, orders, and products services. (could be more!!)

a frontend (a simple web page, using flask)
a product service (an inventory of the products with description and cost)
an orders service (recording the orders with order numbers, items and cost)

Further questions to answer/explore:

How this app is going to look
Which components to setup in k8s (a deployment and service for each microservice, what more?)
How the APIs are going to be exposed (so the services can talk to each other. Right now, I only know how to expose the frontend on 8080 for user interaction).

Goals for this Hackweek

The project will have several learning goals:

How to breakdown a monolith to microservices.
Understand how Kubernetes works.
Learn how to design Kubernetes topology for containerized applications.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

python kubernetes

I've been reading https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/cloud-native-patterns/9781617294297/ but not working through it because the examples are all in java, and I don't want to just use the spring boot platform to hide all the details. Would be interested in the points you've listed, as well as implementing a quick-and-dirty chaos monkey to kill off random/selected connections and nodes and monitor what happens, as well as see what works for fast recoveries.
