Example Hilla microservice application
This example application demonstrates how to use Hilla to call microservices. Hilla follows a backends-for-frontends pattern, where each frontend has its own backend. The frontend is responsible for aggregating data from multiple services and presenting it to the user.
Hilla uses type-safe RPC calls to communicate between the frontend and backend.
The example consists of 3 applications:
-
user-service- A service that provides user data -
order-service- A service that provides order data -
hilla-app- The frontend application that aggregates data from the other services
