Train Ticket：A Benchmark Microservice System

The project is a train ticket booking system based on microservice architecture which contains 41 microservices. The programming languages and frameworks it used are as below.

• Java - Spring Boot, Spring Cloud
• Node.js - Express
• Python - Django
• Go - Webgo
• DB - Mongo、MySQL

You can get more details at Wiki Pages.

Quick Start

We provide two options to quickly deploy our application: Using Docker Compose and Using Kubernetes.

Using Docker Compose

The easiest way to get start with the Train Ticket application is by using Docker and Docker Compose.

If you don't have Docker and Docker Compose installed, you can refer to the Docker website to install them.

Presequisite

• Docker
• Docker Compose

1. Clone the Repository

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/FudanSELab/train-ticket.git
cd train-ticket/

2. Start the Application

docker-compose -f deployment/docker-compose-manifests/quickstart-docker-compose.yml up

Once the application starts, you can visit the Train Ticket web page at http://localhost:8080.

Using Kubernetes

Here is the steps to deploy the Train Ticket onto any existing Kubernetes cluster.

Presequisite

• An existing Kubernetes cluster

1. Clone the Repository

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/FudanSELab/train-ticket.git
cd train-ticket/

2. Deploy the application

cd deployment/kubernetes-manifests/quickstart-k8s

# Deploy the databases
kubectl apply -f quickstart-ts-deployment-part1.yml
# Deploy the services
kubectl apply -f quickstart-ts-deployment-part2.yml
# Deploy the UI Dashboard
kubectl apply -f quickstart-ts-deployment-part3.yml

3. Run kubectl get pods to see pods are in a ready state

4. Visit the Train Ticket web page at http://[Node-IP]:32677.

More Deployment Ways

There are many other quick deployment ways in deployment folder. For example, you can deploy this system with Jaeger, and then visit the Jaeger Webpage to view traces.

Build From Source

In the above, We use pre-built images to quickly deploy the application.

If you want to build the application from source, you can refer to the Installation Guide.

Screenshot

In order to know how to use the application, you can refer to the User Guide.
