Quick Start

Generate a Python Service

# Generate a modern gRPC service with UV
archetect render git@github.com:p6m-archetypes/python-grpc-service-uv-basic.archetype.git my-service

# Generate an AI chatbot service
archetect render git@github.com:p6m-archetypes/python-chatbot.archetype.git my-chatbot

# Generate a FastAPI REST service
archetect render git@github.com:p6m-archetypes/python-rest-service-uv-basic.archetype.git my-api

Development Workflow

cd my-service

# Sync all packages with UV
find . -name "pyproject.toml" -exec sh -c 'cd "$(dirname "$1")" && uv sync' _ {} \;

# Start the complete stack
docker-compose up -d

# Run integration tests
./scripts/run-integration-tests.sh

# Access services
# - gRPC: localhost:50051
# - Health: http://localhost:9011/health
# - Metrics: http://localhost:9011/metrics
# - Grafana: http://localhost:3000
