The Shipping microservice is a fictitious shipping service that does nothing but receive messages from the Order microservice and randomly sends an event indicating the success or failure of a shipment. It was developed as part of a course project on creating microservices using RabbitMQ for communication between services.

• Programming Language: Java with Spring Boot
• Message Queue: RabbitMQ
• Containerization: Docker

1. Clone the GitHub repository:

git clone git@github.com:RedbeanGit/polyshop-shipping.git

2. Install Docker and Docker Compose on your machine if you haven't already. You can follow the installation instructions on Docker's official website: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/ and https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/.

3. Navigate to the Shipping microservice directory:

cd polyshop-shipping

4. Launch Docker Compose to start the necessary containers:

docker-compose up -d

Now you can choose to run the Shipping service inside a docker container or directly on your host.

5. Build the Docker image for the microservice using the provided Dockerfile:

docker build -t polyshop-shipping .

6. Run the container from the image you have just builded:

docker run --name polyshop_shipping polyshop-shipping

5. Start Spring Boot application:

./mvnw spring-boot:run

The Shipping microservice listens for messages from the Order microservice and sends events upon successful or unsuccessful shipments.
