# Spring Boot Example with gRPC on Kubernetes

### Introduction

This example demonstrates how you can use Camel-gRPC Starter component. The example is composed of a standalone gRPC server and a Camel Spring-boot gRPC route acting as client. We will run this example on Minikube (0.21.0)

### Server

You can build the server under the directory hello-camel-grpc-server with:

    $ mvn clean install 

and then run the server with

    $ mvn -Pkubernetes-install fabric8:deploy

then check your pod status with

    $ kubectl get pods

[source,bash]
----
NAME                                                          READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
camel-example-hello-grpc-server-kubernetes-2604940788-g47hr   1/1       Running   0          13s
----

and get the logs

    $ kubectl logs camel-example-hello-grpc-server-kubernetes-2604940788-g47hr

You should see the following output:

[source,bash]
----
Aug 30, 2017 7:31:11 AM org.apache.camel.examples.grpc.HelloCamelServer start
INFO: Server started. I'm listening on 8080
----

### Run the client

You can build the client example under the directory hello-camel-grpc-client with:

    $ mvn clean install

and then run the server with

    $ mvn -Pkubernetes-install fabric8:deploy

then check your pod status with

    $ kubectl get pods

[source,bash]
----
NAME                                                          READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
camel-example-hello-grpc-client-kubernetes-1594657646-ptrkn   1/1       Running   0          15s
camel-example-hello-grpc-server-kubernetes-2604940788-g47hr   1/1       Running   0          7m

----

and get the logs

    $ kubectl logs camel-example-hello-grpc-client-kubernetes-1594657646-ptrkn

And you should see this output in the console.

### Cleanup

Undeploy server and client
```
$ cd hello-camel-grpc-client-kubernetes
$ mvn -Pkubernetes-install fabric8:undeploy
$ cd ../hello-camel-grpc-server-kubernetes
$ mvn -Pkubernetes-install fabric8:undeploy
```
Make sure no pod is running
```
$ kubectl get pods
No resources found.
```
