# Story 8.3: Additional Sample Feature Services ## Metadata - **Story ID**: 8.3 - **Title**: Additional Sample Feature Services - **Epic**: 8 - Advanced Features & Polish - **Status**: Pending - **Priority**: Low - **Estimated Time**: 12-15 hours - **Dependencies**: 4.1 ## Goal Create additional sample feature services to demonstrate different use cases and patterns. Each service is independently deployable with its own entry point, gRPC server, and database schema. ## Description This story creates additional sample feature services (Notification Service, Analytics Service) to show different service patterns and use cases. Each service follows the same pattern as Blog Service: independent entry point, gRPC server, database schema, and Consul registration. ## Deliverables ### 1. Notification Service - Service entry point: `cmd/notification-service/main.go` - Service structure: `services/notification/` - gRPC service definition: `api/proto/notification.proto` - Features: - Email templates - Notification preferences - Notification history - gRPC API for sending notifications - Database schema: `notification` schema - Service registration with Consul ### 2. Analytics Service - Service entry point: `cmd/analytics-service/main.go` - Service structure: `services/analytics/` - gRPC service definition: `api/proto/analytics.proto` - Features: - Event tracking - Analytics dashboard API - Export functionality - Database schema: `analytics` schema - Service registration with Consul - Uses Event Bus for event ingestion ## Acceptance Criteria - [x] Notification Service is independently deployable - [x] Analytics Service is independently deployable - [x] Each service has its own entry point and gRPC server - [x] Services register with Consul - [x] Services demonstrate different patterns (event-driven, etc.) - [x] Services are well-documented ## Related ADRs - [ADR-0029: Microservices Architecture](../../adr/0029-microservices-architecture.md) - [ADR-0030: Service Communication Strategy](../../adr/0030-service-communication-strategy.md) - [ADR-0033: Service Discovery Implementation](../../adr/0033-service-discovery-implementation.md) ## Files to Create/Modify - `cmd/notification-service/main.go` - Notification Service entry point - `services/notification/` - Notification Service implementation - `cmd/analytics-service/main.go` - Analytics Service entry point - `services/analytics/` - Analytics Service implementation
