It helps you to build efficient, reliable & scalable services. Moleculer provides many features for building and managing your microservices. **Website**: [https://moleculer.services](https://moleculer.services) **Documentation**: [https://moleculer.services/docs](https://moleculer.services/docs) # Top sponsors

# What's included - Promise-based solution (async/await compatible) - request-reply concept - support event driven architecture with balancing - built-in service registry & dynamic service discovery - load balanced requests & events (round-robin, random, cpu-usage, latency, sharding) - many fault tolerance features (Circuit Breaker, Bulkhead, Retry, Timeout, Fallback) - plugin/middleware system - support versioned services - support [Streams](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v10.x/docs/api/stream.html) - service mixins - built-in caching solution (Memory, MemoryLRU, Redis) - pluggable loggers (Console, File, Pino, Bunyan, Winston, Debug, Datadog, Log4js) - pluggable transporters (TCP, NATS, MQTT, Redis, NATS Streaming, Kafka, AMQP 0.9, AMQP 1.0) - pluggable serializers (JSON, Avro, MsgPack, Protocol Buffer, Thrift, CBOR, Notepack) - pluggable parameter validator - multiple services on a node/server - master-less architecture, all nodes are equal - built-in parameter validation with [fastest-validator](https://github.com/icebob/fastest-validator) - built-in metrics feature with reporters (Console, CSV, Datadog, Event, Prometheus, StatsD) - built-in tracing feature with exporters (Console, Datadog, Event, Jaeger, Zipkin, NewRelic) - official [API gateway](https://github.com/moleculerjs/moleculer-web), [Database access](https://github.com/moleculerjs/moleculer-db) and many other modules... # Installation ``` $ npm i moleculer ``` or ``` $ yarn add moleculer ``` # Create your first microservice This example shows you how to create a small service with an `add` action which can add two numbers and how to call it. ```js const { ServiceBroker } = require("moleculer"); // Create a broker const broker = new ServiceBroker(); // Create a service broker.createService({ name: "math", actions: { add(ctx) { return Number(ctx.params.a) + Number(ctx.params.b); } } }); // Start broker broker.start() // Call service .then(() => broker.call("math.add", { a: 5, b: 3 })) .then(res => console.log("5 + 3 =", res)) .catch(err => console.error(`Error occurred! ${err.message}`)); ``` [Try it in your browser](https://codesandbox.io/s/ky5lj09jv?fontsize=14) # Create a Moleculer project Use the Moleculer CLI tool to create a new Moleculer based microservices project. 1. Create a new project (named `moleculer-demo`) ```bash $ npx moleculer-cli -c moleculer init project moleculer-demo ``` 2. Open the project folder ```bash $ cd moleculer-demo ``` 3. Start the project ```bash $ npm run dev ``` 4. Open the [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) link in your browser. It shows a welcome page that contains more information about your project & you can test the generated services. :tada: **Congratulations! Your first Moleculer-based microservices project is created.
