A bootstrap for a microservice based on Flask with MongoDB

Starting a new project is a common task in microservices architecture. To do this it’s better to have a some template. I put my version to the flask-mongoengine-bootstrap repository. The key point are:

  • very basic, only flask, flask-mongoengine and structlog in requirements
  • configuration through environment variables
  • configured logging in JSON format
  • marking log records with request_id
  • possibility to run development version make dev and tests make test through docker
  • a template for Makefile
  • examples of model, api route and tests

If you’ll use it, do not forget to change SECRET_KEY.
