Nginx + Docker Compose + Go + Flask Microservices

📦 Project Overview

This project sets up a Docker Compose-based environment with:

🟨 Service 1 (Go) — Returns JSON from /ping and /hello
🟦 Service 2 (Python Flask) — Returns JSON from /ping and /hello
🧭 Nginx Reverse Proxy — Routes traffic to both services on a single port

⚙️ Setup Instructions

Install Docker and Docker Compose
Clone this repository:

 git clone https://github.com/your-username/devops-nginx-proxy.git
 cd devops-nginx-proxy

Run the entire system with:
```
 docker compose up --build
```

Once running, visit the endpoints in your browser or use curl:

http://localhost:8080/service1/ping

http://localhost:8080/service1/hello

http://localhost:8080/service2/ping

http://localhost:8080/service2/hello

🔁 How Routing Works

Nginx is configured to proxy requests based on URL path:

/service1/* ➡️ routed to Go app on http://service1:8001
/service2/* ➡️ routed to Flask app on http://service2:8002

location /service1/ {
    proxy_pass http://service1:8001/;
    rewrite ^/service1(/.*)$ $1 break;
}

location /service2/ {
    proxy_pass http://service2:8002/;
    rewrite ^/service2(/.*)$ $1 break;
}

✨ Bonus Features Implemented

✅ Docker Health Checks for both services
✅ Nginx Access Logs with timestamp and URL
✅ Bridge Networking for container isolation
✅ Single-Port Access through localhost:8080
🧪 (Optional) Test-ready via CURL or browser

🧠 Author & Notes

Developed as part of a DevOps internship assignment.
Built using Linux-friendly, reproducible Docker containers.
Note: Do not use Flask's built-in server for production.
