Docker Orchestration

If you have your api packaged in a docker container, you can use an orchestration platform to scale the application.

This example assumes you setup docker in the manner specified in the Fabrix Docker tutorial.

Docker Swarm

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  some-fabrix:
    image: fabrix-app/fabrix:latest
    ports:
      - 80:3000
    links:
      - some-mongo:db

  some-mongo:
    image: mongo:latest
    volumes:
      - /volumes/fabrix_some-fabrix:/data/db

docker stack deploy --compose-file ./docker-compose.yml fabrix
docker service scale fabrix_some-fabrix=3

Rancher

Without Internal Load Balancer

docker-compose.yml

some-fabrix:
  image: fabrix-app/fabrix:latest
  ports:
    - 80:3000
  links:
    - some-mongo:db
    
some-mongo:
  image: mongo:latest
  volumes:
    - /volumes/fabrix_some-fabrix:/data/db

rancher-compose.yml

some-fabrix:
  scale: 3

With Internal HaProxy Load Balancer

docker-compose.yml

some-fabrix:
  image: fabrix-app/fabrix:latest
  links:
    - some-mongo:db
    
some-mongo:
  image: mongo:latest
  volumes:
    - /volumes/fabrix_some-fabrix:/data/db
    
load-balancer:
  image: rancher/lb-service-haproxy:v0.7.1
  ports:
    - 80:80/tcp
  labels:
    io.rancher.container.agent.role: environmentAdmin
    io.rancher.container.create_agent: 'true'

rancher-compose.yml

some-fabrix:
  scale: 3
load-balancer:
  start_on_create: true
  lb_config:
    port_rules:
    - hostname: fabrix.example.com
      path: ''
      protocol: http
      service: trailblazer/some-fabrix
      source_port: 80
      target_port: 3000
