Base Application - CI/CD Series

As discussed in the introduction, we are working on a basic REST service with the goal of implementing full end-to-end CI/CD. To help build this REST service, we are leveraging:

• sbt
  
• akka-http
  
• ScalaTest
  
• GitHub

All of the changes have been completed and the full changeset can be found on this pull request.

The service currently has the following endpoints:

• GET /health
• Basic health check for the service
• Returns 200
• GET /guests
• Returns all guests in the guestbook
• Returns 200
• Returns JSON list of guests
• POST /guests
• Adds a guest to the guestbook
• Request is JSON guest {"name":"Dan", "age":31}
• Returns 201 on creation
• Returns 409 if the guest already exists
• DELETE /guests/<name>
• Deletes a guest by name
• Returns 204 if the guest was deleted
• Returns 404 if the guest to delete was not found

Overall, this is an extremely basic REST service, however it will serve our purposes for the rest of this CI/CD series.

In the following posts, we will start to:

1. Add automated unit tests
2. Run the service via a Docker image
3. Add automated product acceptance tests (PATs)
4. Add automated deployments to a cloud service
