Ask HN: Solid setup for local microservices architecture

  • The AWS ECS cli understands the syntax of docker-compose files, so you can use almost the same setup as local development. Also depending on your setup, e.g. if your services are stateless and the state is kept somewhere else like SQS queue, you can parallelize 100x with a single command.

      ecs-cli compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml --ecs-params ecs-params.yml service up --cluster YOUR_CLUSTER
    
      ecs-cli compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml --ecs-params ecs-params.yml service scale 100 --cluster YOUR_CLUSTER
    
    Not sure if that is what you meant, feel free to get in touch.

  • Author here: just wanted to clarify that the question was meant to be for creating a local development environment.

  • why docker-compose and not kubernetes?
