User Info API

This API was developed primarily for an interview process. The corresponding instructions can be found here. I also wrote some specifications

Running the app on your computer

The cached version is the one chosen from production because of Heroku deployment, but the Cassandra version would be a better choice for a real production environment.

With the .NET Core SDK

Download and install the .NET Core SDK from .NET Downloads.

Cached Version

$ export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production
$ dotnet run --project src/UserInfo.Api/UserInfo.Api.csproj

Simple Cassandra version

$ docker run -p 9042:9042 --name mk-cassandra -d cassandra:latest
$ export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=local
$ dotnet run --project src/UserInfo.Api/UserInfo.Api.csproj

With Docker

Cached version

$ docker build -t mk .
$ docker run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT="Production" mk

Simple Cassandra version

$ docker run -p 9042:9042 --name mk-cassandra -d cassandra:latest
$ docker build -t mk .
$ docker run --rm -it -d -p 5000:5000 -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT="docker" --link mk-cassandra:cassandra mk

Deploy on Heroku

Install Docker

docker build -t mk .

# Be sure to have a heroku account, that the app is created there, and that you have Heroku CLI installed.
# 'mk-bettym' is the name of the heroku app

heroku login
heroku container:login
docker tag mk registry.heroku.com/mk-bettym/web
heroku container:push web -a mk-bettym
# OR docker push registry.heroku.com/mk-bettym/web
heroku container:release web -a mk-bettym

Re-Release quickly:

docker build -t mk .
heroku container:push web -a mk-bettym
heroku container:release web -a mk-bettym
