Waiting machine is an application that enables the management of people waiting in line to ride the train. This is a demo application for Grafana and Prometheus presentation (ex. JavaCro 22).
Implemented features are:
- Queue management: add a user to queue and fetch all users that are currently in queue
- Report endpoint for managers: this endpoint will either return success or an error
- Entrance scheduler: dummy counter of people who entered amusement park
- Queue scheduler which will put people to ride
- Overcrowded scheduler that checks if there is an overcrowded queue
Waiting machine is written in Java using Spring Boot framework.
Running the project will require both Java and Docker (docker-compose) installed on the system:
- Java/JDK 17+
- Docker and docker compose
Run Docker compose command to start PostgreSQL database, Prometheus server and Grafana application:
docker-compose up
To start Waiting machine server, run Maven wrapper command which will build everything and serve web application on localhost:8080
./mvnw spring-boot:run
In this project there is Postman collection file: WaitingMachine.postman_collection.json. You can use it for playing with backend endpoints.
Health check is implemented using Spring Actuator and exposed on actuator/health endpoint:
http:https://localhost:8080/actuator/health
Also, project is packed with Grafana and Prometheus monitoring tools. Both technologies are run from docker-compose and already set-up for the project.
Prometheus can be accessed from: http:https://localhost:19090
Grafana can be accessed from: http:https://localhost:13000 with username admin and password admin.
