Here is a README template for your microservices project:

Microservices Project

Description

This project consists of multiple microservices that work together to provide a comprehensive application. Each microservice is responsible for a specific domain or functionality.

Modules

1. Config Server

• Description: Centralized configuration server for all microservices.
• Path: config-server
• Technologies: Spring Cloud Config, Java, Maven

2. Gateway Service

• Description: API Gateway for routing requests to appropriate microservices.
• Path: gateway-service
• Technologies: Spring Cloud Gateway, Java, Maven

3. User Service

• Description: Manages user information and operations.
• Path: user-service
• Technologies: Spring Boot, Java, Maven, SQL

Prerequisites

• JDK 11 or higher
• Maven 3.6 or higher
• Database (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL)
• Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)

Setup

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
cd your-repo-name

Configure the database

1. Create a database and user for each microservice that requires one.
2. Update the application.properties or application.yml files in each microservice with your database configuration.

Build the project

Navigate to each microservice directory and build the project using Maven.

cd config-server
mvn clean install

cd ../gateway-service
mvn clean install

cd ../user-service
mvn clean install

Run the microservices

You can run each microservice individually using Maven.

cd config-server
mvn spring-boot:run

cd ../gateway-service
mvn spring-boot:run

cd ../user-service
mvn spring-boot:run

Alternatively, you can use Docker to run the microservices if Docker configurations are provided.

Usage

Each microservice exposes its own set of endpoints. Refer to the individual README.md files in each microservice directory for detailed usage instructions.

Running Tests

Navigate to each microservice directory and run the tests using Maven.

cd config-server
mvn test

cd ../gateway-service
mvn test

cd ../user-service
mvn test
