SENG 468 Day Trading App Spring 2023

This repo holds our group project for the SENG 468 Day Trading App

HOW TO START

The easiest way to run our application is via docker-compose. In the root directory of our project run the following

docker-compose up --build -d

Verfiy all services up and healthy by running

docker ps -a

HOW TO RUN WORKLOAD

Once all the services are up and running navigate to the cli_app directory. In that directory follow the instructions on the README file.

Run System on Kubernetes

You will need latest docker version 23.0.3 or later and minikube version v1.29.0 or later.

All commands done from top level folder

Build Images

docker compose build

run ./start_k8s.sh to initalize/start cluster

wait for a little while so services can start, and then portforward backend service so cli_app can access it

kubectl port-forward service/backend 8000:8000 -n seng-trade-app 

test workflow

./cli_app/app < ./cli_app/workflows/user10.txt 

play around; change auto scale for w/e deployments

kubectl autoscale deployment/backend-deploy --min=1 --max=3
minikube start --nodes=2 //or more? extra nodes

To test fault tolerance run chaos_test.sh

This will take down a pod every 30s by default
