Follow these few steps to install the Google microservices online boutique demo application on your Kubernetes cluster.
APIClarity will use Istio to monitor application traffic.
The boutique demo microservices run in the default namespace. Add an Istio-injection label so that Istio automatically inserts an envoy proxy to each microservice application.
kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled --overwriteThe boutique demo deploys 11 microservices to simulate an e-commerce application. More information can be found here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo
The end-to-end architecture of the application is shown below.
As the application architecture is based on microservices which use REST APIs for inter-communication, APIClarity can analyse it.
Run the following commands to install the Boutique demo application:
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo.git
kubectl apply -f microservices-demo/release/kubernetes-manifests.yamlYou should have a similar output:
