This project leverages existing the pre-defined Docker Compose configuration file to set up, deploy, and run APISIX, etcd, Prometheus, and other services with a single command. First, clone the apisix-docker repo on GitHub, open it in your favorite editor, navigate to the example folder, and start the project by simply running docker compose up command in a terminal from the project root folder.

We will leverage the existing file-proxy demo project on GitHub. It has a quite similar structure to the existing Apisix docker example repo, only we removed unnecessary files to keep the demo simple. The project has 3 folders, docker-compose.yml, and sample openapi.yaml files.

This first thing you clone the apisix-docker project repo from GitHub:

Apache APISIX Apache APISIX is an open source, dynamic, real-time, high-performance cloud native API gateway. APISIX provides rich traffic management features such as load balancing, dynamic upstream, canary release, circuit breaking, authentication, observability, and more.

We made use of Apache APISIX docker compose repo where we deployed several components in one run and we demonstrated how the API Gateway can be used to manage sample ASP.NET Core application to retrieve product data using Product microservice's API. Also, you learned how to enable limit-count plugin for the API endpoint. There are many other built-in plugins available in Apache APISIX, you can check them on Plugin Hub page. Basically, APISIX can be a lightweight middleware API Gateway regardless of which programming language, frameworks, tools, or platforms you are developing a microservice or application.

In this demo, we are using Apache APISIX Docker repo and it contains an example docker-compose.yaml file and with other config files that makes straightforward to start APISIX using docker compose. We try out this example:

APISIX uses etcd to save and synchronize configuration. Before installing APISIX, you need to install etcd on your machine. It would be installed automatically if you choose the Apache APISIX Docker compose mode, you will learn more about on the next blog post Use Docker Compose to deploy containerized APISIX to AWS ECS.

The apisix-security-java-spring project makes use of the similar example APISIX docker compose template.

✔️ Create an Azure resource group. ✔️ Configure Azure Container Instances. ✔️ Create a Azure context for Docker to offload Apisix and etcd containers execution to ACI. ✔️ Get Apache APISIX example source code for Docker from GitHub. ✔️ Modify Docker compose file there. ✔️ Setup volumes in Azure Storage Account with Azure File Share. ✔️ Add APISIX config files to Azure File Share. ✔️ Bring up APISIX in Azure Container Instances. ✔️ Verify APISIX running. ✔️ Cleanup after you finish.
