SuperAPI is an example Gradle based API Server project for the Gaza Sky Geeks Continuous Delivery Workshop. With this workshop, you will build a basic HTTP based REST API and a continuous delivery pipeline that will deploy the API to a production server. We will also integrate the application with a monitoring service (New Relic).

The workshop will be divided into 3 sections

• Day 1 - Setting up Java API using Dropwizard/Spark

  • Intro to Gradle & setup a simple Java project structure using Gradle
  • Implement a simple hello world API using either Dropwizard
  • Implement a simple test suite to be used for validation on CI

• Day 2 - Build a deployment pipeline

  • Introduction to Continuous Integration and Continuous delivery concepts
  • Setup a build and deployment pipeline in SnapCI
  • Integrate example hello world server into the pipeline ready for deployment
  • Perform deploys directly from CI server into production with no manual intervention

• Day 3 - Monitoring your server

  • Introduction into telemetry/monitoring and alerting concepts
  • Modify deployment to enable monitoring with New Relic
