# STAN'S ROBOT SHOP
# Sample Microservice Application
This is a simple example microservices application for use as a sandbox for playing with orchestration and/or monitoring/observability techniques. It is not a reference example of how to write a microservices application, the error handling is patchy and the security is pretty much nonexistent.
Stan's Robot Shop is a sample microservice application you can use as a sandbox to test and learn containerised application orchestration and monitoring techniques. It is not intended to be a comprehensive reference example of how to write a microservices application, although you will better understand some of those concepts by playing with Stan's Robot Shop. To be clear, the error handling is patchy and there is not any security built into the application.
