Overview

In this article, we will try to build a ‘hello world’ web application using a microservices architecture. According to its name, microservice architecture involves multiple services working together to solve a bigger problem. Each service is in charge of completing a particular job while many of these services communicate with one another to reach a common objective.

Objective

Two different services are to be built, containerized, and made to communicate with each other. The project is broken up further into two simple web applications using flask and flask-restful, one of which is a normal web application and the other of which is a REST-based web application. If the first service’s welcome page is able to successfully talk to the other service (second service), we would achieve our goal.
