Yugastore app is a sample ecommerce application built using a microservices design pattern. React UI, Node.js Express app framework and YugabyteDB (YCQL and YEDIS) are used as the underlying technology stack.

1. Create a cluster

Create a cluster. The YEDIS API is initialized along with cluster creation so nothing additional needs to be done.

$ ./yb-docker-ctl -rf 3 create

Clients can now connect to the YSQL API at localhost:5433, YCQL API at localhost:9042, and YEDIS API at localhost:6379.

2. Install Yugastore

$ docker run -p 3001:3001 -d --network yb-net --name yugastore yugabytedb/yugastore

You can see the Yugastore app at http://localhost:3001.

3. Run a load tester

$ docker exec -it yugastore node /usr/local/yugastore/test/sample-user.js

4. Observe effects of load on YugabyteDB Admin UI

Now you can observe the effects of the read/write operations generated by the load tester by simply going to the YugabyteDB Admin UI at http://localhost:7000.

5. Review Yugastore architecture and code

Details of Yugastore architecture are documented here. Source code is available in the Yugastore GitHub repo.

6. Run IoT Fleet Management app

After running Yugastore, Yugabyte recommends running the IoT Fleet Management app. This app is built on top of YugabyteDB as the database (using the YCQL API), Confluent Kafka as the message broker, KSQL or Apache Spark Streaming for real-time analytics and Spring Boot as the application framework.
