SkillSprint Backend

Welcome to the SkillSprint Backend Repository! This repository contains the backend services for our educational platform, SkillSprint, designed to provide a seamless learning experience for both learners and instructors.

Technologies Used:

• Framework: Spring Boot
• Service Discovery: Edureka Service Discovery
• API Gateway: Spring Cloud Gateway
• Database: MongoDB
• Authentication: JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
• Containerization: Docker
• Orchestration: Kubernetes

Prerequisites:

• Docker installed on your machine
• Kubernetes installed and configured, such as Minikube
• Kube Forward app installed (for port forwarding)
• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed

Getting Started

1. Clone the project repository:

git clone https://github.com/IsuruX98/SkillSprint-Backend.git

2. Navigate to the yml folder:

cd yml

3. Apply Kubernetes configurations for the services:

kubectl apply -f .

4. Check the status of the deployed services:

kubectl get all

OR Use Minikube dashboard to monitor the status visually.

5. Port Forwarding

   a. For Eureka Service Registry:

   kubectl port-forward service/eureka-lb 8761:80 -n default

   b. For Cloud Gateway:

   kubectl port-forward service/cloud-gateway-svc 9191:80 -n default

OR Use Kube Forward app, select the Minikube cluster, and add the following port forwarding configurations:

• Resource Namespace: default
• Kind: Service
• Name: eureka-lb
• Local Port: 8761
• Resource Port: 80

Repeat the same steps for cloud-gateway-svc:

• Name: cloud-gateway-svc
• Local Port: 9191
• Resource Port: 80

7. Access the services:
   • Eureka Service Registry: http://localhost:8761/
   • Cloud Gateway: http://localhost:9191/

API Documentation:

• Detailed API documentation for each service can be found in the respective service directories or at [API Documentation URL].

Security:

• Authentication is implemented using JWT tokens. Users must include their JWT token in the Authorization header for protected routes.

Scalability and Performance:

• The backend services are designed with scalability and performance in mind, utilizing Microservices architecture and containerization with Docker and Kubernetes.

Additional Functionalities:

• Email and SMS Notifications: Upon successful enrollment, learners receive confirmation via email and SMS using third-party services for sending notifications.
