Continuous Integration

Bank of Anthos

Bank of Anthos is a sample HTTP-based web app that simulates a bank's payment processing network, allowing users to create artificial bank accounts and complete transactions.

Opsani uses this application to demonstrate a real polyglot application under optimization in a Kubernetes enviornment.

See opsani-README for details on launching the Bank-of-Anthos app for use with the Opsani Dev-Trial environment.

Google uses this application to demonstrate how developers can modernize enterprise applications using GCP products, including: GKE, Anthos Service Mesh, Anthos Config Management, Migrate for Anthos, Spring Cloud GCP, and Cloud Operations. This application works on any Kubernetes cluster.

NOTE: This application utilizes log4j, and all relevant container images have been patched to address the major security vulnerability identified in December, 2021.

Service Architecture

Architecture Diagram

Service Language Description
frontend Python Exposes an HTTP server to serve the website. Contains login page, signup page, and home page.
ledger-writer Java Accepts and validates incoming transactions before writing them to the ledger.
balance-reader Java Provides efficient readable cache of user balances, as read from ledger-db.
transaction-history Java Provides efficient readable cache of past transactions, as read from ledger-db.
ledger-db PostgreSQL Ledger of all transactions. Option to pre-populate with transactions for demo users.
user-service Python Manages user accounts and authentication. Signs JWTs used for authentication by other services.
contacts Python Stores list of other accounts associated with a user. Used for drop down in "Send Payment" and "Deposit" forms.
accounts-db PostgreSQL Database for user accounts and associated data. Option to pre-populate with demo users.
loadgenerator Python/Locust Continuously sends requests imitating users to the frontend. Periodically creates new accounts and simulates transactions between them.

Quickstart (GKE)

Open in Cloud Shell

  1. Create a Google Cloud Platform project or use an existing project. Set the PROJECT_ID environment variable and ensure the Google Kubernetes Engine API is enabled.
PROJECT_ID=""
gcloud services enable container --project ${PROJECT_ID}
  1. Clone this repository.
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/bank-of-anthos.git
cd bank-of-anthos
  1. Create a GKE cluster.
ZONE=us-central1-b
gcloud beta container clusters create bank-of-anthos \
--project=${PROJECT_ID} --zone=${ZONE} \
--machine-type=e2-standard-2 --num-nodes=4 \
--enable-stackdriver-kubernetes --subnetwork=default \
--tags=bank-of-anthos --labels csm=
  1. Deploy the demo JWT public key to the cluster as a Secret. This key is used for user account creation and authentication.
kubectl apply -f ./extras/jwt/jwt-secret.yaml
  1. Deploy the sample app to the cluster.
kubectl apply -f ./kubernetes-manifests
  1. Wait for the Pods to be ready.
kubectl get pods

After a few minutes, you should see:

NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

userservice-78dc876bff-pdhtl          1/1     Running   0          96s
  1. Access the web frontend in a browser using the frontend's EXTERNAL_IP.
kubectl get service frontend | awk '{print $4}'

Example output - do not copy

EXTERNAL-IP
35.223.69.29

Other Deployment Options

  • Workload Identity: See these instructions.
  • Cloud SQL: See these instructions to replace the in-cluster databases with hosted Google Cloud SQL.
  • Multicluster with Cloud SQL: See these instructions to replicate the app across two regions using GKE, Multi-cluster Ingress, and Google Cloud SQL.
  • Istio: Apply istio-manifests/ to your cluster to access the frontend through the IngressGateway.
  • Anthos Service Mesh: ASM requires Workload Identity to be enabled in your GKE cluster. See the workload identity instructions to configure and deploy the app. Then, apply istio-manifests/ to your cluster to configure frontend ingress.
  • Java Monolith (VM): We provide a version of this app where the three Java microservices are coupled together into one monolithic service, which you can deploy inside a VM (eg. Google Compute Engine). See the ledgermonolith directory.
