Local Development Environment for C# API server
This was my second attempt at using C# as part of an educational side project coming from a very Python centric development background.
Many thanks to https://github.com/MattWood21 for providing feedback and help when required!

For future updates on this side project please see https://github.com/kmoorfield/Obsidian_Notes

Feel free for anyone to copy / use this in any way as part of educational learning only!

You can start the application by cloning the repo and executing the rebuild_containers.sh script in Git Bash.

The web api Swagger examiner is available, when running, at http://localhost:5000/swagger/index.html

Load testing via Locust is available, when running, at http://localhost:8089/

In this configuration the load testing code is in the locust folder.

There are two Dockerfile's in use:

• Dockerfile_Main This Dockerfile builds an image to act as the main locust container that will be used to access the web app at http://localhost:8089 when running. It also coordinates the workers.
  The entrypoint by default runs with an UI however locust can be set to run automatically without an UI by adding the following commands onto the entrypoint ["--run-time", "5m", "--headless"].
  The output is then logged within the docker container logs instead of within the UI.
  
• Dockerfile_Worker This Dockerfile builds an image to act as the worker. It is pointed to the main image via the argument --master-host, whose value must match the hostname in application_stack.yaml for the load_main container.
  

You can pick the number of workers by defining the "--scale load_worker=X" value in the rebuild_containers.sh and then re-executing the script again to relaunch the stack.

The tests are defined in the locust/tests folder and its sub-folders.
