It's a side project that I started to accomplish the objectives listed below.

• build a public API
• build a basic CI/CD pipeline
• experience some services of a cloud provider (AWS)
• try out a programming language you've never used before. (Golang)

Some technologies to be used: Golang, Jenkins, Sonarqube AWS ECR, AWS ECS, Route 53, DynamoDB, Amazon SQS, Amazon ElastiCache for Redis, and AWS SES.

For more details, go through the steps.

Gotten inspiration from this article.

Implement a system that keeps track of user information and sends users a verification email to confirm their email addresses.

Starting with a simple API, we will then continue to expand upon it.

Write a simple service that converts the text that is provided to it from lowercase to uppercase.

Dockerize the application.

Choose a cloud provider (AWS)

• Amazon ECR to host images
• Amazon ECS for deployment

Automate Deployment

• Jenkins for CI/CD workflow

Add image building stage to the pipeline

Add deployment stage to the pipeline

Write a unit test for our basic service.

Add a testing stage to the pipeline

• SonarQube as a static analysis tool

Add a quality gate to the pipeline

Register a domain name

Direct the registered domain to this application via Route 53

• project-pipeline.ga

Choose a database (DynamoDB) (DONE)

Modify the case converter service to implement a basic user API (WORKING ON)

Implement user-API that performs CRUD operations on user data

Write unit tests for user-API

Create an Amazon SQS queue

When a user is created in user-API, send a message to the AWS SQS queue

Implement user-verification-API that

• Listens to the Amazon SQS queue
• Generate a key for user verification
• Store the key in Amazon ElastiCache for Redis
• Send the confirmation link via AWS SES
