I have app with 3 components.
- 1 x service (flask, zmq)
- 2 x worker (zmq)
Used language is Python. The library for comunication (messaging) is ZMQ.
I can’t send a request from one component to another.
- service - worker
- worker - worker
Client code
zmq_context = zmq.Context()
socket = zmq_context.socket(zmq.REQ)
socket.connect("tcp://c-3-worker:55555")
socket.send_string("test")
message = socket.recv_string()
c-3-worker is name of server component.
Server code
context = zmq.Context()
socket = context.socket(zmq.REP)
socket.bind("tcp://*:55555")
message = socket.recv_string()
socket.send_string("Pass")
App setting I tried to set internal ports however it was possible only for service (not for worker). Uploaded file was not accepted.
internal_ports:
- 55555
What I do wrong?

Great question, Workers cannot expose any ports, in this case you’d be better off using services for both components. If the worker (c-3-worker) only needs to be accesible internally it can be made an internal service by only specifying internal ports.
Here’s more details on how to create an internal service.
Thanks for asking, I think this is a confusing area and going to bring it up with the team on how we can make this type of scenario more obvious.
