This is a sample application designed to illustrate various concepts related to containers on AWS. It presents a sample retail store application including a product catalog, shopping cart and checkout.
It provides:
- A distributed component architecture in various languages and frameworks
- Utilization of a variety of different persistence backends for different components like MySQL, DynamoDB and Redis
- The ability to run in various container orchestration technologies like Docker Compose, Kubernetes etc.
- Pre-built containers image for both x86-64 and ARM64 CPU architectures
- All components instrumented for Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry OTLP tracing
- Support for Istio on Kubernetes
- Load generator which exercises all of the infrastructure
This project is intended for educational purposes only and not for production use.
The application has been deliberately over-engineered to generate multiple de-coupled components. These components generally have different infrastructure dependencies, and may support multiple "backends" (example: Carts service supports MongoDB or DynamoDB).
| Component | Language | Container Image | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Java | Link | Aggregates API calls to the various other services and renders the HTML UI. |
 |
Go | Link | Product catalog API |
 |
Java | Link | User shopping carts API |
 |
Java | Link | User orders API |
 |
Node | Link | API to orchestrate the checkout process |
 |
Nginx | Link | Serves static assets like images related to the product catalog |
The following sections provide quickstart instructions for various platforms. All of these assume that you have cloned this repository locally and are using a CLI thats current directory is the root of the code repository.
This deployment method will run the application in an existing Kubernetes cluster.
Pre-requisites:
- Kubernetes cluster
kubectlinstalled locally
Use kubectl to run the application:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws-containers/retail-store-sample-app/main/dist/kubernetes/deploy.yaml
kubectl wait --for=condition=available deployments --all
Get the URL for the frontend load balancer like so:
kubectl get svc ui
To remove the application use kubectl again:
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws-containers/retail-store-sample-app/main/dist/kubernetes/deploy.yaml
This deployment method will run the application on your local machine using docker-compose, and will build the containers as part of the deployment.
Pre-requisites:
- Docker installed locally
Change directory to the Docker Compose deploy directory:
cd dist/docker-compose
Log in to the public ECR registry by following the instructions on the AWS ECR documentation:
aws ecr-public get-login-password --region us-east-1 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin public.ecr.aws
Use docker compose to run the application containers:
MYSQL_PASSWORD='<some password>' docker compose --file docker-compose.yml up
Open the frontend in a browser window:
http://localhost:8888
To stop the containers in docker compose use Ctrl+C. To delete all the containers and related resources run:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml down
