Project template for a BlackSheep API deployed to Azure App Service, using a PostgreSQL database, GitHub Workflows, and Bicep templates for deployments.

This is an advanced project template, featuring:

• A Python web service using a PostgreSQL database
• GitHub Workflows to automate the deployment of Azure services and the application server
• Bicep templates to provision the necessary Azure services
• Database migrations implemented using Alembic, automatically deployed as part of the Continuous Delivery workflow
• Integration with Azure Application Insights to collect telemetries for performance, web requests, exceptions, failed requests, including tracking of PostgreSQL dependencies
• Workflows and ARM templates prepared to support multiple environments: DEV, TEST, PROD
• A BlackSheep API, including OpenAPI Documentation
• Instructions describing how to get started and configure GitHub Workflows and create environments in Azure

• A GitHub account
• An Azure subscription
• Azure CLI

For development:

• Python 3.8

1. Create a new repository starting from this template (using GitHub features), or fork the project
2. Choose a project name for your new deployment
3. Configure GitHub secrets
4. Run the infrastructure GitHub Workflow: this creates necessary services in Azure, in different environments
5. Run the server build GitHub Workflow: this builds the application and deploys it to the various environments
