Colossus is an example microservice architecture boilerplate demonstrating how to wire together Bazel, gRPC, Docker, and Kubernetes (via Minikube) across services written in Go, Java, and C++. It is a starter template showing the plumbing for a Bazel monorepo targeting Kubernetes, not a production system.

Use cases

  • set up a bazel monorepo for kubernetes microservices
  • example of grpc services in go and java with bazel builds
  • boilerplate for deploying microservices to minikube
  • learn how to combine bazel docker and kubernetes
  • starter project for grpc-based microservice architecture
  • see how to build polyglot microservices with protocol buffers

When to choose

  • you want a reference for wiring Bazel, gRPC, Docker, and Kubernetes together
  • you are starting a Bazel monorepo targeting Kubernetes and need plumbing examples
  • you want to see polyglot microservices (Go, Java, C++) built with one build tool

When to avoid

  • you need production-ready microservice functionality out of the box
  • you want a maintained framework or library rather than an example project
  • you don't use Bazel or Kubernetes
  • you need actively developed code with recent updates
