## **Overview**
- Briefly describe the purpose of the microservice.
- Include information about its role in the system.

## **Features**
- List key features or functionality provided by this microservice.

## **Technologies Used**
- **Frameworks:** Laravel / NestJS / Gin (mention as applicable)
- **Databases:** MySQL, PostgreSQL
- **Messaging Queues:** RabbitMQ
- **Others:** (e.g., Redis, ElasticSearch)

## **System Requirements**
- Docker (if used)
- Node.js (for frontend or NestJS services)
- PHP (for Laravel services)
- Golang (for Gin services)
- Composer (for Laravel)
- MySQL/PostgreSQL client tools
- SSH client (for tunneling)

## **Setup Instructions**

### **Clone Repository**

git clone https://github.com/<organization>/<repository>.git
cd <repository>

### **Environment Setup**
1. Copy the example environment file and update configurations:

   cp .env.example .env

2. Fill in the required fields in the .env file:
- Database credentials
- RabbitMQ credentials
- External service URLs
- Other environment-specific variables.

### **Database Setup**
#### MySQL/PostgreSQL (Local)
1. Ensure MySQL/PostgreSQL is running locally or accessible.
2. Run migrations:

php artisan migrate # For Laravel
npx prisma migrate deploy # For NestJS

**Docker (Optional)**
1. If Docker is used, spin up containers:

docker-compose up -d

### **Connecting via SSH Tunneling**
#### For MySQL/PostgreSQL:
1. Establish an SSH tunnel:

ssh -L 3306:<db_host>:3306 user@ssh-server

2. Update `.env`:

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306

#### For RabbitMQ:
1. Establish an SSH tunnel:

ssh -L 5672:<rabbitmq_host>:5672 user@ssh-server
