Sample Score App is a reference application that demonstrates deployment using Score, a platform-agnostic workload specification tool.
The project addresses the challenge of deploying containerized applications consistently across different environments. It solves this by providing a concrete example of how to use Score to define a workload once and then deploy it to multiple platforms. The sample application itself is a simple microservice consisting of a Node.js application backed by a PostgreSQL database, chosen for clarity rather than complexity.
Developers should use this repository as a learning resource when evaluating Score for their own projects. It is most valuable for teams exploring how to standardize workload definitions across local development and Kubernetes production environments. The project demonstrates deployment to both Docker via score-compose and Kubernetes via score-k8s, showing the practical workflow for each platform. Anyone considering Score adoption will benefit from studying how this sample application structures its configuration and deployment process.
The project maintains a straightforward focus on demonstrating Score's core functionality through a minimal but realistic example. Development activity centers on keeping the sample application aligned with Score's evolving specification and tooling, ensuring it remains a current reference for users learning the platform.
