spring-webflux-reactive-databases

The goal of this project is to play with Spring WebFlux both on client and server side. For it, we will implement Spring Boot Java Web applications (product-api, customer-api, order-api, notification-api and client-shell) and use different databases like Cassandra, MongoDB, Postgres and MySQL.

Proof-of-Concepts & Articles

On ivangfr.github.io, I have compiled my Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) and articles. You can easily search for the technology you are interested in by using the filter. Who knows, perhaps I have already implemented a PoC or written an article about what you are looking for.

Project Architecture

Applications

product-api

Spring Boot Java Web application that exposes a REST API to manage products. It uses MongoDB as storage.
customer-api

Spring Boot Java Web application that exposes a REST API to manage customers. It uses Postgres as storage.
order-api

Spring Boot Web Java application that exposes a REST API to manage orders. It uses Cassandra as storage. In order to get more information about an order, i.e, the name of the customer who placed it or the name or price of the products in the order, order-api uses WebClient and CompletableFuture to fetch this information from customer-api and product-api.
notification-api

Spring Boot Web Java application that exposes a REST API to manage notifications.
client-shell

Spring Boot Shell Java application that has a couple of commands to interact with product-api, customer-api, order-api and notification-api. The picture below show those commands.

Playing around

Warning: the ids shown below will be different when you run it

In client-shell terminal, import some products and customers by running the following command
- If you are running using Maven
```
script ../src/main/resources/samples.txt
```
- If you are running as Docker container
```
script /workspace/BOOT-INF/classes/samples.txt
```

Get all customer

get-customers

It should return

{"id":"1","name":"Customer A","email":"customer.a@test.com","city":"Berlin","street":"NYC Strasse","number":"123"}
{"id":"2","name":"Customer B","email":"customer.b@test.com","city":"Berlin","street":"LA Strasse","number":"234"}
{"id":"3","name":"Customer C","email":"customer.c@test.com","city":"Berlin","street":"DC Strasse","number":"345"}
...

Get all products

get-products

It should return

{"id":"5ee3ee31b460d868af49f389","name":"product-1","price":199.99}
{"id":"5ee3ee32b460d868af49f38a","name":"product-2","price":299.99}
...

Create an order where Customer A buys 1 unit of product-1 and 2 units of product-2

Warning: the product ids informed here are just a sample. You will have different ones.

create-order --customerId 1 --products 5ee3ee31b460d868af49f389:1;5ee3ee32b460d868af49f38a:2

It should return

{
  "orderId":"5aaad64c-4e80-48e0-926d-8f1b7027955a",
  "status":"OPEN",
  "created":"2020-06-12T22:09:59.558232",
  "products": [
    {"id":"5ee3ee31b460d868af49f389", "quantity":1},
    {"id":"5ee3ee32b460d868af49f38a", "quantity":2}
  ],
  "customerId":"1"
}

Get details about the order created

get-order-detailed 5aaad64c-4e80-48e0-926d-8f1b7027955a

It should return

{
  "orderId":"5aaad64c-4e80-48e0-926d-8f1b7027955a",
  "status":"OPEN",
  "created":"2020-06-12T22:09:59.558",
  "products": [
    {"id":"5ee3ee32b460d868af49f38a", "name":"product-2", "quantity":2, "price":299.99},
    {"id":"5ee3ee31b460d868af49f389", "name":"product-1", "quantity":1, "price":199.99}
  ],
  "customer": {
    "id":"1",
    "name":"Customer A",
    "email":"customer.a@test.com",
    "city":"Berlin",
    "street":"NYC Strasse",
    "number":"123"
  }
}

To create a notification to the order created above

create-notification 5aaad64c-4e80-48e0-926d-8f1b7027955a

To check how fast order-api get details about the customer and products of an order, create another order where Customer A order 50 random products

create-order-random --customerId 1 --numProducts 50

It should return

{
  "orderId":"87133d36-67f0-4388-b15b-7d66ad739374",
  "status":"OPEN",
  "created":"2020-06-12T22:14:08.342338",
  "products": [
    {"id":"5ee3ee32b460d868af49f38a", "quantity":4},
    ...
    {"id":"5ee3ee32b460d868af49f396", "quantity":3}
  ],
  "customerId":"1"
}

In another terminal, to get the details of the order previously created and the response time of this call, we are using order-api's endpoint GET /api/orders/{orderId}/detailed

curl -w "\n\nResponse Time: %{time_total}s" -s localhost:9082/api/orders/87133d36-67f0-4388-b15b-7d66ad739374/detailed

It will return something like

{
  "orderId":"87133d36-67f0-4388-b15b-7d66ad739374",
  "status":"OPEN",
  "created":"2020-06-12T22:14:08.342338",
  "products": [
    {"id":"5ee3ee32b460d868af49f395", "name":"product-13", "quantity":4, "price":1399.99},
    ...
  ],
  "customer": {
    "id":"1",
    "name":"Customer A",
    "email":"customer.a@test.com",
    "city":"Berlin",
    "street":"NYC Strasse",
    "number":"123"
  }
}

Response Time: 0.292698s
