When utilizing onApplicationBootstrap
/ onModuleInit
and consuming app's functionality inside Microservices, it is important to clarify that the order of the bootstrap lines plays an essential role:
For example:
await app.startAllMicroservices();
await app.listen(3001);
The lifecycle events will complete after the microservices have started.
await app.listen(3001);
await app.startAllMicroservices();
The lifecycle events will complete before the microservices have started.
We had a bug when our application started and a microservice was immediately consumed, before our Promises from modules' OnModuleInit functions have finished.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Explain that lifecycle events happen when you call
listen
and notcreate
- Explain that the order of
startAllMicroservices
andlisten
is crucial
Teachability, documentation, adoption, migration strategy
Update the Lifecycle and Hybrid Application pages
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
To educate developers and to avoid future bugs. I had to debug your code to figure these things out...
