Basically a YAML file defining services and its configurations. Can be extended by Docker Compose files to recreate the core environment needed to run microservices independently for development in an environment that is similar to its production environment, without needing to run all services.
You have:
- RethinkDB:
rethinkdb_service - Consul:
consul_service - Fabio:
fabio_service
Microservices must import it using git submodule and extend the services.yml:
git submodule add https://github.com/armand1m/core-services.git
version: '2'
services:
my-service_database:
extends:
file: ./core-services/services.yml
service: rethinkdb_service
volumes:
- ./my-service/data:/data
consul:
extends:
file: ./core-services/services.yml
service: consul_service
gateway:
extends:
file: ./core-services/services.yml
service: fabio_service
