## Overview

`sonar-test-nest4` is a stateless microservice built using the `typescript-nestjs` runtime. It was scaffolded from the **Create Microservice** golden-path template on the Kyndryl Platform. The service provides a RESTful API for managing items, including endpoints for CRUD operations. It is designed to be lightweight, scalable, and observable, with integrated OpenTelemetry instrumentation and Prometheus metrics.

This service plays a critical role in the demo-apps domain, serving as a foundational component for item management workflows. It is deployed via Humanitec and runs on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), leveraging Azure Container Registry for image storage. The CI/CD pipeline is managed through Gitea Actions, ensuring automated builds, tests, and deployments across environments (`dev`, `staging`, `prod`).

## Architecture

`sonar-test-nest4` follows a stateless architecture and is deployed as a containerized service. Key components include:

- **Runtime**: `typescript-nestjs`
- **Container Port**: `3000`
- **Health Check**: `/health`
- **Metrics Endpoint**: `/metrics` (Prometheus format)
- **Image Registry**: Azure Container Registry (`bstagecjotdevacr`)

The deployment flow is managed through Gitea Actions workflows:
1. **build-push.yml**: Builds and tests the application, then pushes the container image to Azure Container Registry.
2. **deploy-humanitec.yml**: Deploys the service to AKS via Humanitec using Score files.

Promotions between environments (`dev`, `staging`, `prod`) are triggered through Backstage's CI/CD tab, ensuring controlled and gated deployments.

## Configuration

| Config Key       | Value          |
|------------------|----------------|
| `runtime`        | `typescript-nestjs` |
| `health_path`    | `/health`      |
| `container_port` | `3000`         |

Environment-specific configurations are managed via Humanitec and Score files. Additional configuration details can be found in `.platform/config.yaml`.

## Operations

### Deployment Steps
1. Push changes to the `dev` branch for automatic deployment to the development environment.
2. Open a PR for promotion to `staging` or `prod`. Ensure CI tests pass and obtain one approval before merging.
3. Use Backstage's CI/CD tab to trigger environment promotions.

### Runbook Notes
- Monitor the `/health` endpoint for service health.
- Use `/metrics` for Prometheus-based observability.
- Refer to `.gitea/workflows/` for CI/CD pipeline configurations.
