How do the services communicate with each other ? about todo HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello @peterfebin

Yes, as far as this repository is concerned, the two services behave as independent services which communicate with each other through the APIs.

Now regarding your question how to make the services accessible from a single port, what you can implement is an API Gateway, which listens to the requests on a single port and forward the incoming requests to the individual services(running on their respective ports)
For this API Gateway to work, it should know, where your individual services are running and which protocol they talk.

There was an recent effort I put together https://github.com/microreg which aims to build an API Gateway and a service registry through which a user can communicate with all the Microservices through a single point of reference.

Thank you so much @h4xr . I was looking for a simple explanation on Microservices using Python and your code has helped me understand that.
