How to Run Food Delivery Modular Monolith

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to run the Food Delivery Modular Monolith application.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

Docker Desktop: Required to run the infrastructure services (Postgres, MongoDB, RabbitMQ).
.NET 8.0 SDK: Required to build and run the API application.

The application relies on several external services. We use Docker Compose to spin them up.

Open a terminal (PowerShell, Command Prompt, or Git Bash).
Navigate to the deployments/docker-compose directory:
```
cd deployments/docker-compose
```
Start the containers in detached mode:

First, copy the sample environment file:
```
cp .env.sample .env
```
Then start the services:
```
docker-compose -f docker-compose.infrastructure.yaml up -d
```
Wait for a few moments for all containers (Postgres, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, etc.) to start and become ready.

Open a new terminal window or navigate back to the root of the repository:
```
cd ../..
```
Run the API project using the .NET CLI:
```
dotnet run --project src/Api/FoodDelivery.Api/FoodDelivery.Api.csproj
```
Alternatively, if you are using Visual Studio:
- Open food-delivery-modular-monolith.sln.
- Set FoodDelivery.Api as the Startup Project.
- Press F5 or click "Start Debugging".

Once the application is running, you can access it at:

Port Conflicts: Ensure ports 5432 (Postgres), 27017 (Mongo), 5672 (RabbitMQ), and 5000 (API) are not being used by other applications.
Database Connection Issues: If the application fails to connect to the database, verify that the Docker containers are running using docker ps.
