Spotify Profile Analyzer

Developer notes -

I created this project with the goal of getting more experience working with the following technologies -

• Docker
• Docker-compose
• Go
• GRPC
• NGINX
• Third party restful APIs
• Micro-Service architectures

because of this goal when considering system design I tried to maximize my exposure to those technologies. In practice for the expected small audience the system would probably be better served by a small modular monolithic application.

Setting up the developement environment and running services

Developement dependences -

• Docker https://docs.docker.com/install/
• Golang 1.13 https://golang.org/doc/install
• protobuf compiler v1.2.0 https://grpc.io/docs/quickstart/go/

1. First download the required dependenies and cloning this github repo.
2. Next you need to set the necessary enironment variables for the docker-compose.yaml file to use.
3. Next in the SpotifyAnalyzer directoryn run "Docker-Compose build". This will build the necessary docker images.
4. After building the images you can run "Docker-Compose up" to start up the environment.

System design diagram

Below is a diagram of the system which is created when "docker-compose up" is run from the SpotifyAnalyzer directory.
