Cloud Blast Backend

System Overview

Cloud Blast backend system is designed using the microservices architecture.

The system consists of four main components:

1. Main Service: It is responsible for hosting the HTTP server and starting the User, Tournament, and Leaderboard services. With Mux, it routes requests to handler functions that are responsible for forwarding the request to appropriate service and service responses to requesters.

2. User Service: This service handles all user-related activities like user registration, login and level progress.

3. Tournament Service: This service is responsible for managing tournaments, including their creation, updates, and player participation.

4. Leaderboard Service: This service is responsible for maintaining the tournament rankings. It uses Redis as a data cache to store and quickly retrieve the tournament rankings.

• The communication between these services and the Main Service is empowered by RabbitMQ, a highly efficient message broker. RabbitMQ queues are used to facilitate communication between services, ensuring decoupling of services and improving the system's scalability and maintainability.

• As the persistent storage, Amazon DynamoDB is used to store "User", "Tournament" and "UserInTournament" (user records in different tournaments) tables.

• CronJob is used to schedule tournaments daily.

./cloudblast-backend

Dockerized execution

1. Set "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" and "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" variables on docker-compose.yaml file

docker-compose up --build
