About

This is a working code repo created fot the book Distributed Systems with Node.js by Thomas Hunter.

There are two main components of this repo: The recipe API and the Web API. Each component has a couple of different options for starting the service depending on which protocol you want to use.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Node.js, npm and Yarn are required to run this project.

npm i -g yarn

Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running.

Clone the repo:

End with an example of getting some data out of the system or using it for a little demo.
