Project Overview

This repository features a Flask REST API for CRUD operations on weather and event data by date and city. Organized into microservices with a reusable template, it employs Docker for containerization, Elastic Stack for logging and monitoring, and Consul for service discovery and configuration. Each microservice is containerized for isolated, scalable deployment.

Technologies Used

• Flask: Web framework for Python used to develop the REST API.
• Docker: Platform for containerization, ensuring portability across different environments.
• Elastic Stack: Suite for logging and monitoring, including Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana.
• Consul: Tool for service discovery and configuration management.
• MySQL: Database used for storing event data.
• Redis: Database used for storing weather data.
