JWebsite-Go — Production-Style Microservices Project

This repository contains a production-style microservices web application designed and implemented as a hands-on project.

The goal was to build a system that follows real-world backend and DevOps principles, including service separation, containerization, and orchestration.

📁 Project Structure

• backend/ — Backend services (Go)
• frontend/ — Frontend application
• gateway/ — API Gateway
• producer/ — Message producer service
• consumers/ — Message consumer services
• db/ — Database configuration
• Dockerfile
• docker-compose.yml
• index.html

---

🧠 Architecture Overview

• Frontend — user-facing web interface
• API Gateway — centralized entry point for requests
• Backend services — business logic and data processing
• Producer / Consumers — asynchronous message processing
• Database — persistent storage layer
• Docker Compose — local orchestration of all services

The system is designed to resemble a real production environment, with clear service boundaries and containerized deployment.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Go (Golang)
• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Microservices architecture
• REST APIs
• Asynchronous messaging concepts

🚀 Running the Project Locally

docker-compose up --build
All services are started locally using Docker Compose to simulate a
production-like environment.
