Gopher Quotes
Yet another application designed as a “MicRoserVice” for demo purposes. Gopher quotes offers users insghtful quotes ✍🏼 from their favourite gophers around the world. 🌍
Architecture 🏗
Gopher Quotes is currently composed of three services, all of which communicate over HTTP.

|---|---|---|
| quotes-frontend | python/flask | renders quotes from the api |
| quotes-api | Go | handles creation of quotes |
| quote-stats | python/flask | provides “useful” stats on quotes |

Setup using Docker-Compose 🐳
Starting the service is as easy as:
docker-compose up
Setup using Kubernetes
if you’re into that kubernetes thing , I have provided some manifests in the deployments/k8s directory. Edit the following lines in ingress.yaml
- host: "yourhostordomainname"
Now you can
kubectl apply -f deployments/k8s
API endpoints
The gopher quotes API exposes the two enpoints
