Project Overview & Scope
🎯 Building a trivia question microservice from scratch, encompassing all code and infrastructure for building, testing, deploying, and running.
💡 This foundational trivia questions service will serve as a learning model applicable to other microservices within a larger online trivia game.

Microservice API & Functionality
➕ The API will facilitate requests for particular or random trivia questions.
📄 Users can retrieve a paged list of questions, complete with navigation instructions for moving between pages.
🏷️ A specific endpoint will provide version information for the microservice, crucial for tracking in continuous integration environments.

Continuous Integration & Deployment (CI/CD)
⚙️ Leverages a Git repository with pull request triggers to automatically notify a build server.
✅ The CI system will build the microservice, run unit tests, package it, store it in an artifact manager, and then deploy it to production.
↩️ An artifact manager ensures that every build is stored, allowing for easy rollback to previous stable versions if needed.

Technology Stack
💻 The microservice will be developed using Java and built with Maven.
🌐 It will expose a REST API that returns trivia questions in JSON format.
🚀 Implemented with Wildfly Swarm, a framework that packages Java microservices as an executable JAR, independent of a full Java EE container.

Containerization & Cloud Deployment
🐳 The application will be created and run within a Docker container to guarantee consistent execution across development and production environments.
☁️ Deployment is planned for AWS, though the containerized approach is adaptable to various Docker hosting platforms.

Key Points & Insights
🔄 Focuses on the holistic development of microservices, from coding to comprehensive infrastructure setup and deployment.
🧪 Emphasizes the critical role of unit testing and version tracking within an automated CI/CD pipeline to ensure reliability and traceability.
📦 Highlights the benefits of Docker containerization for achieving environment consistency and simplifying the provisioning of microservice instances.
🛠️ Provides a practical roadmap for building microservices using a common stack: Java, Maven, REST APIs, and Wildfly Swarm.
