About The Application - acken/outbox-workshop GitHub Wiki

This application consisting of a few small services is just a demonstration of some of the challenges you will experience when working with a microservice architecture.

The application itself is a sample application for getting the temperature of a given location through SMS. It consists of a gateway service to receive the SMS messages, a queue for temporary storing the SMS requests and replies, handlers for getting messages from the queue and a weather service for the handlers to get the temperature from. In addition to this it has a small discovery service that will keep track of all the other running servies.
