Testing our microservices together

We should run transaction and account microservices together to test producing and consuming processes. First, let’s start with the account microservice. As mentioned before, don’t forget to run the docker-compose.yml files for both services.

To test the newly updated account, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Ch07/accountservice/src from the terminal.
2. Run the account service from the command line using the node index.js command.
3. Open Postman and, from the new tab, paste the service URL (it is http://localhost:3001/v1/accounts for us), and for the HTTP method, select POST. Select Body | raw, change Text to JSON, and paste the following:

   {
       "name":"AccName1",
       "number":"Ac12345",
       "type":"root",
       "status":"new"
   }

   You should get the following response...
