User account service is a collection of servers which allows for the Creating, Reading, Updating and Deleting of Users.
It's a demonstration of the architectural principle of Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), utilising multiple node servers, redis, MongoDB and a load-balancer (nGinx) bound together with docker-compose.
To build & run, the only requirement is Docker (v17+) which can be found here.
To build the project
docker-compose build
To run the project
docker-compose up
To see all the endpoints and how to use them, import the user-account-service.postman_collection.json into postman
- Test routes with invalid session tokens
- Push images to dockerhub, versioned (starting at 0.1)
- Update nginx.conf to tidy urls, and allow the same url to be used by both services depending on request type (PUT/POST). Current situation not very Restful :(
- Create delete endpoint in UMA
- Write more unit-tests
- Enhance validation middleware
- Share config between apis, ()maybe at project root level)
- Allow api config to be overwritten at runtime
- Allow sharing of methods, variables etc via a shared folder (maybe)
- Improve security measures
- Update nginx to place documentation on pretty URLs for both api's
- Host project online
- Split user-auth-api in half. One for session management the other for validating details
- Get nginx to redirect the user to the github project page
