Code16challenge - Azure web app using 16 lines of code


While preparing for the Azure exam, I've noticed a supportive initiative on Facebook to help a little girl collect money for her surgery.  A number of my colleagues have already participated in that action, so I've decided to join as well.

The challenge was to prepare any "program" staying in 16 lines codes, sharing it publicly on the FB, and add the #code16challenge hashtag.

Playing a bit recently with Azure, I've decided to use this opportunity to create a small web app  (nodej.js/npm), set up all required Azure resources, and deploy the app to the cloud  - all in 16 lines of code.

  1. web="code16challenge-siepomaga"
  2. asp="wa2021asp"
  3. rg="code16challengeRg"
  4. npm init -y # Webapp setup
  5. echo $(jq '.scripts.start="node index.js"' package.json) > package.json
  6. echo \
  7. "const http = require('http');\
  8.  http.createServer((req, res) => {\ 
  9.  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-type': 'text/plain' });\
  10.  res.end('Code Challenge - Sie pomaga'); })\
  11. .listen(process.env.port || 8080);" > index.js
  12. az login # Azure setup
  13. az group create --resource-group $rg --location ukwest
  14. az appservice plan create  -n $asp -g $rg --is-linux  --sku F1 --location ukwest
  15. az webapp up -n $web  -p $asp -g $rg --sku F1 --runtime "NODE:14-lts" --os-type Linux --location ukwest
  16. curl -w "\n%{stdout}" "https://"$web".azurewebsites.net" # ....and check

That's all you need to place your web app  into Azure and the Internet. It's not rocket science, but it's always handy to have something like this working and easy to read.

Podman using Ubuntu WSL2

Image
The Docker Desktop for Windows is no longer free for commercial usage, or at least in many cases. If your local development environment is Windows, and you're looking for an alternative, this article is for you. "Docker Desktop remains free for small businesses (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in annual revenue), personal use, education, and non-commercial open-source projects.". Unfortunately, containerization is a foundation of most enterprise-level projects these days, which size causes the licence issue.  The commercial doesn't cost an arm and leg, even though it builds unnecessary concern and limitations. Even if you use the WSL2 Linux image, you need to use the docker engine, which is a part of the Docker Desktop for Windows. Podman as Docker And here is the beautiful moment when Podman comes into the play. It's a root-less and demon-less solution, fully compatible with docker. If you have been ever concerned about the demon working in the...

Automatization of test cases in SCRUM

Image
Test case automation may bring many benefits for the application/system QA process, but it's not always obvious how to introduce an implementation of the test cases into SCRUM flow.  The SCRUM methodology defines the number of PBIs (product increments) for prioritization and planning, as a part of the SCRUM process. Those could be user stories or enablers , sometimes bugs . Each of the PBIs needs to be estimated and confirmed by a scrum team before it's added into a sprint scope (sprint backlog). The question would be: How to plan the effort for the implementation of automation tests, as those are not the PBIs per se? Test Case is not a PBI In the strategy proven in one of my projects, a test case is an output (product) of the delivery, just like an ordinary artifact. Typically, it's a part of a testing suite. It needs to be created, maintained, and placed into a repository (see: Azure DevOps ). Once prepared, we can start working on the automation of the test case. Bo...

Azure Synapse - first contact

Image
Despite the fact I've spent the last two years working with Microsoft Azure cloud tech stack, I didn't have a chance working with Azure Synapse yet. Finally I've met this guy. The first impression is very good. Azure Synapse Workspace To create the first Azure Synapse you need to create an  Azure Synapse Workspace . If you are already familiar with Azure you may already know Azure Log Analitycs Workspace to examine logs and operation of your applications and resources. Here is the same. Workspace is created within the Azure resource group, building a landing page for its settings, analytic pools, security, and monitoring aspects. Azure Synapse Workspace will require a storage account to be created/selected under-the-hood. A storage account will be used to build Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 for the files you will manage by yourself (sample data for processing) or by the Azure Synapse itself (ex. PySpark trained models will be saved here as well).  The better place to deal...
