Community Events Platform

This project is a microservices-based web application that enables users to organize and participate in small, spontaneous, non-commercial community events in their local area. It was developed as part of a bachelor’s thesis at CTU in Prague.

Local setup

To run this project locally, make sure you have the following tools installed:

• Docker
• Node.js & npm (for the Vue frontend)
• Java 17+ and Maven (for Spring Boot microservices)

---

1. Start Infrastructure with Docker Compose

Navigate to the infrastructure/docker directory and start the necessary infrastructure components (e.g., Kafka, MongoDB, ELK Stack):

cd infrastructure/docker
docker-compose up -d

Wait until all services are healthy (check with docker ps or use the Docker Desktop UI).

2. Run Spring Boot Microservices

Each backend module is a standalone Spring Boot application. You can run them all using your IDE or with Maven:

# From the root of the project, run each service individually in separate terminals:
cd auth-server
mvn spring-boot:run

cd core-service
mvn spring-boot:run

cd chat-service
mvn spring-boot:run

cd map-service
mvn spring-boot:run

cd saga-orchestrator-service
mvn spring-boot:run

cd gateway
mvn spring-boot:run

---

3. Start the Frontend (Vue.js)

Navigate to the frontend directory and start the development server:

cd web
npm install
npm run dev
