Maintain online recipes.

A small application for maintaining recipes that I've liked.

Recipes can be added through webpage links or added manually.

Microservices

Scraper

Python/Java service to scrape a given webpage for recipe fields and data such as

• Completion Time
• Ingredients
• Steps

This is exposed as an RPC to be called by the Tyepscript GraphQL server.

TypeGraphQL Server

Main API used by clients for adding new recipes, querying added recipes, and so on.

Also involves a containerized SQLite database which is used by the resolver. The main Recipe resolver also involves a small cache to save queries.

This uses the TypeORM for working with TypeScript models.

Auth

Authentication microservice used by the TypeGraphQL server

Nginx

Not exactly a microservice but the main the main service is exposed through an Nginx reverese proxy using SSL certs from letsencrypt.

Only needed if the webapp is served remotely and not as a container.

Roadmap

Logging

A logging service stood up as a microservice that logs user queries and maintains analytics for most queried cuisines and so on.

Lambda

Containerized lambda for logging.
