This project is a solution to the technical challenge presented given by GF Machining Solutions. The challenge involves interacting with a secret API to obtain magic numbers, calculating the sum of these numbers, and passing the result to a POST endpoint. If the solution is correct, a key will be received through a provided callback.
Every minute a background service will query the magic numbers, do the sum and give the result providing a Rest API endpoint as a callback. If the result is correct, it will log the result which should reveal a hidden key.
The provided azure pipeline trigger when a new commit on main it pushed. It will first run the tests and if passed it will produce a docker image on azure container registry. As soon as it has been pushed it will generate a release on Azure DevOps which will deploy it on an azure app service.
Before running the solution, ensure that you have the following prerequisites set up:
- .NET SDK installed
- Access to the secret API with a valid token
The solution requires three parameters for configuration:
- SecretAPI:Url: The endpoint where the magic numbers are obtained.
- SecretAPI:Key: The API token for accessing the secret API.
- SecretAPI:CallbackUrl: The callback URL for the service's REST API.
These parameters can be configured in three ways: via appsettings.json, using secrets, or through environment variables. When setting them through environment variables, replace : with __ and add GF_ before each parameter.
Example : SecretAPI:Url become GF_SecretAPI__Url
