Meeting notes

Meetings with Constanze

Deployment (DevOps Group)
- Test deployment for Azure Functions + DB
- Structuring of resource groups (management groups, etc.)
  - Not everyone needs full access??
- At least 2 different environments: prod/dev
Monitoring (Niki, Michael Kurz)
- How to handle, create Azure Dashboards
- Demo function with monitoring
- Items: Traffic, regions; scraper success, status; ...
Budget
- Runtime costs (Network traffic, monitoring, security, public IPs)
- Vaults (certificates, secrets), domain
- Cost per user - maybe extending to profitability using ads?
- Utility tooling for our team (dev, ci/cd, monitoring)
Architecture
- Get rid of API management
- Reconsider DB type (Cosmos Mongo/NoSQL, Object Storage) (Niki, Michaels)
- Reconsider frontend deployment (Azure Static Web App vs CDN)
Implementation
- IDP: Azure AD very complex - maybe use GitHub or similar instead
- Only consider 3 websites for scraping for now
- Tools for local development
Extensions
- Advertising (estimate profit)
- Use Pub/Sub for decoupling
- Caching (to reduce db costs)
- Flutter for multi-device development?
Next steps
- Schedule call when ready with deployment structure
