Project Details Sprint #1 (First 2 days)

Form pairs to work on the application (pair programming). Lay out a plan for the process of creating the registration application. Your approach should align with the fundamentals of DevOps and Microservices. Discuss the application components and lay out a logical layout, a feature set and a backlog of tasks to be completed during the development. Remember there will be limited time to develop the application and you will need to display a functional PoC by the end of the first sprint. By the end of this session you should have a code repository where the Integration can get started. Extend your integration plan from session 1 by designing a build process using the Gradle build tool. Develop a functional RESTful service that can respond to queries and test the build process. The end result of Sprint one should be a build process and an operational Proof-of-concept RESTful service. Since this is the end of a sprint, the last hour will be reserved for the teams to discuss lessons learned.

Sprint #2 (Next 2 days)

Using the Spring Framework develop a stateful back-end for your RESTful frontend that will be provided to you so that data being sent to the REST service can be stored in the database layer. Your RESTful service at this point should be stateless and should be able to communicate with as well as store all persistent data in the database. Deploy this service in Docker. Create a new Microservice that generates a JWT token for authentication and authorization of your current Microservice. Make sure that your current Microservice cannot perform any tasks without the JWT security measure provided by the new Microservice. The teams will need to develop integration test to ensure that the service is able to work properly with the database. We will not discuss lesson learned at the end of this sprint. The presentation on Day 5 will discuss that.

Sprint #3 (Last Day)

• Introduce a service discovery configuration that will make the application available and usable by the end users. Design a load balancing approach for your application. Deploy the application service with the RESTful service API into separate load balancing groups. Configure the applications to talk to the load balancer instead of communicating directly. Your team has the freedom to choose the tools to complete these tasks. The teams will also need to provide system tests to ensure the new infrastructure works as expected and can survive failures.
