Build & Deploy Application

Generate Traffic

15 minutes

In this step, you’ll generate traffic through Cosmic Observatory Shop.

Access the Application

From your laptop, open a new ssh window and type

text 
ssh -p 2222 \
  -L 30080:localhost:30080 \
  -L 15672:localhost:15672 \
  user@1.111.11.111 //Change this to your actual ssh user & IP Address for your instsance

Keep that session open. Then Open the Cosmic Observatory Shop in your browser:

text 
http://localhost:30080

You should see the astronomy equipment catalog with telescopes, eyepieces, and astrophotography gear…

cosmic-shop

Optional - RabbitMQ management UI: (login: guest / guest)

text 
http://localhost:15672

rabbitmq

If the UI does not load, verify the loadbalancer port and use port-forward:

bash 
docker ps --filter name=k3d-cosmic-shop-serverlb --format '{{.Ports}}'
kubectl -n cosmic-shop port-forward svc/rabbitmq 15672:15672

Generate Initial Traffic

  1. After opening the shop at http://localhost:30080
  2. Enter an email address (e.g. observer@cosmic.shop)
  3. Click Purchase on any product
  4. Confirm the order in the modal

Repeat a few times to generate trace data.
