The goal of this project is to practice setting up a blue-green deployment strategy for a simple web application. This will allow you to deploy your application in a more efficient and reliable way.
## Requirement
You are required to take an existing application (e.g. the one you built in [multi-container service project](/projects/multi-container-service)) and setup a blue-green deployment strategy for it. The goal is to deploy the next version of the application in a separate container and switch the traffic to the new container only when the new version is ready.
## Bonus
- Setup a CI/CD pipeline to automatically deploy the application to the server when the code is pushed to the repository.
- Setup a monitoring system to monitor the application and the deployment process.
<hr />
After finishing this project you will have a good understanding of how to deploy a containerized application in a more efficient way without downtime and with zero data loss.

The goal of this project is to help you understand how service discovery works and how to setup Consul to manage your services. The learning objectives are:
- Understand how services register with Consul
- Learn how to query Consul for service information
- Implement a basic service discovery mechanism
- Understand service-to-service communication in a microservices architecture
## Requirements
The project has multiple parts:
### Dummy Services
You are required to create 3 dummy services, each service will just have a dummy endpoint (e.g. `/info`) that returns the current timestamp and the service name (e.g. Service A, Service B and Service C). Services should register themselves with Consul on startup.
### API Gateway
API gateway acts as a single point of entry for the application. It will be responsible for discovering the services using Consul's DNS interface or the API. The API gateway should be able to route requests to the appropriate service.
### Consul
Consul will be used to store the service information and to provide a single point of contact for the API gateway to discover the services.
<hr />
Once you have completed the project, you should have a basic understanding of how service discovery works and how to setup Consul to manage your services.
