Current status:

• created dummy express app that serves http content ( https://expressjs.com/en/starter/generator.html )
• setup Github CI pipeline that is triggered at every pull request and commit on main
• created test suite that is run at every pipeline trigger, we use mocha atm for tests. to create a new test, add a new file in test/ and run npm run test

Future work:

• continue to write the backend app
• do we need a CD pipeline?
• what is the best framework for our needs with regards to unit testing or other types of testing?

CI/CD pipeline:

• build the backend app
• test the app
• create a container with the app and push it to docker hub
• to deploy the application we must pull the containers from docker hub and using a docker-compose file run the application on the server (be it localhost or a remote server)
• other containers that we need: frontend app deployed on ngninx container, database container
• the frontend app will be developed in a different repository and for database we will need to pull a container and link it to our backend in docker-compose
