Tech Stack

• Azure Functions: Serverless compute platform for building and running code without managing servers.
• Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL: Highly scalable NoSQL database service for storing your resume data.

Feature Added

• Whenever someone visits my API, the view count increases. This allows us to track the reach of our Resume API.

Project Details

Description: Developed and deployed a serverless API using Azure Functions and CosmosDB, integrated with GitHub Actions for automated CI/CD. The API serves resume data in JSON format and ensures seamless updates with every code push.

Key Achievements:

• Cloud Infrastructure:

  • Set up Azure resources, including Resource Groups and Azure CosmosDB.
  • Designed and implemented a CosmosDB database and container to store structured JSON resume data.

• Serverless API Development:

  • Created a Python-based Azure Function to fetch and return resume data from CosmosDB.
  • Configured local settings and environment variables to securely manage API keys and connection strings.

• Automation and Deployment:

  • Integrated GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment.
  • Automated deployment process, ensuring each code change triggers a build and deploy pipeline to Azure Functions.
  • Implemented a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions to streamline the deployment process.

• Technologies Used:

  • Languages: Python
  • Cloud Services: Azure Functions, Azure CosmosDB
  • Automation Tools: GitHub Actions
  • Development Tools: Visual Studio Code, Azure Functions Core Tools

Impact:

• Enabled real-time updates to the resume API with minimal manual intervention.
• Leveraged serverless architecture to reduce infrastructure management overhead.
• Improved reliability and scalability of the API by using cloud-native services.
