Welcome to Musify! You’re a backend developer for a SaaS company that helps startups bring their products to market. Musify’s new client wants to launch a music-streaming app connecting music artists and end users. For this large and complex application, Musify’s development team has chosen to take advantage of the microservices architecture, and it’s your job to create the first microservice for the app using Node.js technology. You’ll start by setting up the framework for the server using Express.js. Then you’ll build a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) REST API in Node.js and Express that will allow artists to upload, find, and delete their music audio files as well as letting end users view and listen to songs according to their preferences. When you’re done, you’ll have experience using popular Node.js technology to create a backend REST API ready to deploy.

You’re a software engineer at Musify, a SaaS company that helps companies launch their products. For its newest client, Musify has created a REST API that allows music artists to upload and delete their audio files as well as letting end users view and listen to songs according to their preferences. Your task is to set up the microservice structure using Docker and deploy the REST API to the Azure portal. You’ll write instructions in a Dockerfile to create and run a custom Docker image in a container. You’ll create a container registry in the Azure portal and push the Docker image to an Azure container registry in the cloud. When you’re finished, you’ll have the know-how and experience to publish a microservice to Azure, and the development team will be able to easily and conveniently access, run, and update the application.

Musify, a SaaS company that helps startups bring their products to market, has a client who wants to launch a Spotify-inspired app that will connect music artists with their fans. Musify has already built the first microservice for the app in Node.js and deployed it on an Azure container registry. As a software engineer at Musify, your job is to create a microservice for storing audio files on Azure and enable communication between microservices. You’ll create an Azure Storage account, upload an audio file to the account, and write the HTTP request handler for downloading and streaming the file. You’ll use Docker Compose to run and manage both microservices, and you’ll call one microservice from within the other using the HTTP package. Lastly, you’ll connect the first microservice to a MongoDB database to store the song records. When you’re done, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to build and manage multiple microservices and connect databases to your application using Docker and Docker Compose.
