## What it is
Cinema 3 is an educational example project demonstrating microservices architecture using four Python Flask services for a fictional movie theater (movies, showtimes, bookings, users). It accompanies a blog post on writing microservices in Python.

## Use cases
- learn microservices architecture with python
- example of flask microservices
- understand how services communicate over http
- starter code for building microservices in python
- teach microservices patterns in a course
- see a simple rest api split into multiple services

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, readable example of microservices in Python/Flask
- you are learning or teaching microservices concepts
- you need a small reference architecture for service-to-service HTTP communication

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready microservices framework or scaffolding
- your stack requires Python 3 (the project targets Python 2.7)
- you need modern tooling like containers, service discovery, or orchestration

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: microservices, web-framework, http-server, api-framework
- domain: microservices, backend, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: python, windows, cross-platform
- tags: flask, example-project, educational, rest-api, python-2, linux, macos
