Overview

About

Maintained by Harel LustigerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Declared funder: Tidylab

'Microservice' architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms, often an 'HTTP' resource 'API'. These services are built around business capabilities and independently deployable by fully automated deployment machinery. There is a bare minimum of centralized management of these services, which may be written in different programming languages and use different data storage technologies.

Changes in 0.2.0

Added support for multi-session
Added support for running a microservice at launch on AWS

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/microservices/microservices_0.2.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "microservices_0.2.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.2.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("tidylab/microservices")

Development version from tidylab/microservices. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
