eShopOnContainers VS realworld

The eShopOnContainers is pretty popular, have you seen it yet? https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers

so I was exploring eShopOnContainers a little bit, more specifically the messages queues part and it made me wonder how is it possible to ensure data consistency across microservices when using them. If I'm not mistaken this isn't even shown in the eShopOnContainers examples.

For an example of an aggregate if you're unfamiliar - https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers/blob/3169a933447f1013c069e2cad2805c5de1ce9fbf/src/Services/Ordering/Ordering.Domain/AggregatesModel/OrderAggregate/Order.cs

You can check out eShopOnContainers as a reference architecture if you want, but (assuming this is meant to be somewhat of an ad hoc solution rather than a paragon of software engineering) I'd minimize the number of deployable assemblies (1 + tests if possible) and avoid Docker, again unless you have a specific reason to use it.

For K8s, it has a whole directory with deployment scripts. https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers/tree/dev/deploy/k8s

Checked the eshop on containers which uses EF for writes with DDD. Queries uses Dapper with raw sql. https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers/blob/dev/src/Services/Ordering/Ordering.API/Application/Queries/OrderQueries.cs

Maybe Microsoft’s eShopOnContainers reference system?

It's just for web app (a Todo app). Your GIS AND CLI ideas are interesting, I haven't seen anything similar to realworld for those.

So what would be a better benchmark? Perhaps a "standard" "real world" app, like https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

Or something simpler?

RealWorld example app is a full-stack application called "Conduit" that consists of a backend that serves JSON API and a frontend UI. There are numerous implementations for different languages and frameworks, but in this tutorial you will be using the Spring backend and the React frontend.

Github has millions of projects, some large fraction with more than 100 stars, so it doesn't seem like you are searching very hard. But more importantly, why "100 stars"? Stars are meaningless and arbitrary. Many developers use stars like bookmarks. I just did a quick search and noticed a project like realworld (just a demo for learning, 65 contributors) has have more stars than Bitcoin (900+ developers, perhaps you have heard of it?)

I feel you, context API sometimes overcomplicates everything. Let me introduce to you RealWorld. It is a great project that uses composition to make its structure scalable. It is actually a codebase that implements various fragments of a larger scale project such as Medium or Twitter. Check it out here: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld. I hope this helps!
