FigureHook
A figure news-push service.
A self-challenge project to build a microservice project. The final target is to let the users track the news and control their budget. The minor challenges are keeping the service automated and the accuracy of data with most less human intervention. To make it adapt to CI/CD, I spent a lot of attention on keeping the code testable.
This service is currently built with Flask, Celery, Scrapy. Flask is hosting the website for the users to subscribe to the news. Celery is using RabbitMQ as a broker and processing routine tasks, like pushing news, triggering web-crawlers and sending welcome messages. Scrapy is the web-crawler framework. It performs the web-crawler task and cleaning the data before saving it in the database. All the service is containerized and the image will be auto-updated when the code is updated. I approach this via Github actions. It processes testing code, updating images and daily checking of the parser library. The next step is integrating with ELK stack to collect logs and analyze them from those services.
