Week Nine — RESTful Web Microservices - matthewlaujh/itpnyu-understandingnetworks GitHub Wiki

Configure your host for microservices. Experiment with a simple service, like sending the time from the server, or a randomly generated text.

Once you have a web server up and running, configure it to allow microservices using a scripting language like node.js, node-red (this tutorial for setting node-red up on Digital Ocean is pretty good, and you can skip to “installing node red” if you’ve done the previous assignments). Come up with a simple microservice or two, and try implementing them on your site in node or node-red. Document the services you set up, and link to them from your blog.

By now you’ve done the hard work of setting up a web site from scratch and of learning to build dynamic services on it. That deserves some recognition. So include links on your blog for next week and/or instuctions on your site’s RESTful API so we can all take a look at each other’s work.

Been working with Firebase in Shared Minds and one of the problems cause we hosted our stuff on GitHub and deploy them on Github pages was that we had to put our API keys inside the repo for them to be deployed so learning how to use node for microservices was the right chance to learn how top separate things on the serverside so that the client side could not access my key.
