A (quite full-fledged) demo application, including nice UI plus monitoring. Implemented and maintained by Weaveworks.

Their application is online and they have extensively documented their architecture

• Sock Shop

Eberhard has implemented several examples. Designed around a fictional eCommerce enterprise, they consist of three microservices: One to process orders, another to handle customer data and a third to handle items in a catalogue.

You find versions for different technologies:

• Netflix Stack

• Kafka

• Atom

• Consul

• Consul as DNS server

• Kubernetes

• Cloudfoundry

• SCS-jQuery

• SCS-ESI

• Event Sourcing Example

Richard, author of The Tao of Microservices has implemented a search engine for Node.js modules with a microservice architecture. He describes this example in his book, but a basic documentation is provided with the (open source) implementation. Btw: The system is available online at nodezoo.com.

From his documentation:

Nodezoo is a search engine for Node.js modules. The nodezoo search engine is an example of a real-world service built using Node.js microservices. Each microservice is published in its own github repository along with all of the necessary config to run the system locally or live . The codebase is intended to be used as an example, and as a starting point for your own projects.

• Nodezoo at Github, contains all the examples.

• Nodezoo Workshop, the entry-point into the actual code.

The last commits in these repositories are somewhat dated - I’m not sure if they are actively maintained.
