Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for SOEN490-SportsApp/SportsApp: Delivered core gateway and event-joining capabilities with a focus on reliability and business value. Key features delivered include Gateway Service scaffolding with Spring Boot, Gradle project structure, Dockerization, and routing to user, event, and email services; and a robust Event Joining System with capacity checks, duplicate-participation prevention, private event whitelisting, and registration cutoff handling, including the join endpoint and join service. Major bugs fixed and features hardened through tests and refactors: generalized exception handling, edge-case tests for join flow (duplicates, whitelist, and cutoff), and improved error responses. Overall impact: faster service integration across microservices, centralized routing for improved scalability and security, and a reliable event participation workflow that preserves data integrity and user experience. Technologies and skills demonstrated: Spring Boot, Gradle, Docker, REST controllers, robust exception handling, unit/integration tests, test coverage for edge cases, and code readability improvements through refactors.
