+This week was quite difficult to get through, but Alhamdulillah we managed. The reason it was difficult was because I was working on some really interesting things but the implementation for the whole user story had to be reworked, some of the TOPS seniors were concerned with the Post Deployment Tests alongside the new way in which TMC gets deployed. Anyways, one of the senior engineer said he was gonna look at finding out a new way to do PDT, as right now there are 2 of us who are blocked due to this. Not really our fault but scope always change.
+
+Also had my first ever refinement session, which I held on <2026-02-13 Fri>.
+
+On a brighter note, Ramadan begins next week!

+* Review
+I started to work on upgrading Journeys web API from net 4.8 to net 9. The upgrade was extremely confusing, as each TMC instance is unique in it's own right, so figuring out the Dependency Inversions, Authentication, Authorisation and all that stuff was a manual process.
+
+In the end, the PR was made, and the base net 9 project is underway. Apparently, this API is the one that consumes the most resources, so upgrading this (alongside the other 5) could yield a saving of 110k whole british pounds.
+
+On another note, Ramadan has officially started on the night of <2026-02-17 Tue>. It's imperative I take more screen breaks as my eyesight is getting worse, and I randomly get dizziness due to prolonged screen activity.
+
+Some other things I worked on:
+
+- Reintroducing nextcloud, this time with more capability for file editing.
+- Added an office suite extension for nextcloud, so now I can edit excel files online.
+- Working on the ~zone~ dashboard.
+- Got back into some powerbi (after I found some .pbix files which I'm /pretty sure/ is not meant to be seen by the company.
+
+* Other things
+
+** Competencies
+Not sure to what extent this is of any use but I can see the progress of everyone's competencies. Interesting find.

+Oh man today was hectic. Got an email at three am in the morning that the integration tests have failed for journeys web api (it failed at 4pm the day before but didn't even inform me). Anyways went back to sleep after sehri and decided it was a morning problem.
+
+Spent from 8:15 all the way till 14:45 diagnosing the issue. You'll never guess what it was.
+
+[[../../../assets/images/240226-pr.png]]
+
+THREE PACKAGE CHANGES. Anyways I need to clock out, this was a hilarious reason for the integration tests to fail.

+I picked up a huge task. Its estimated duration is 40 hours and was said that it's likely an underestimate.
+Migrating the endpoints themselves isn't a difficult task. It's the dependency inversions. I spent the whole day and only ended up getting 2 out of so many done, mainly because I was stuck on some DI's.
+
+Times like this I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, but as of right now this is what I am getting:

+Got off on a call with a senior (we spent 3 hours debugging). Turns out that xservermap and whatever dependencies it has requires a total of 3 repository changes in order for the net 9 version of the project to be able to wire up the dependencies correctly. Ehhh not a pleasant sight. I guess for the moment this endpoint is blocked until those changes are checked in and out there.

+Today was the third meeting with lima. 
+
+The day started off quite warm, I was up early and had class from 11am all the way until 2:15pm. I left class and immediately went home, got changed and we all left around 2:30pm. The drive there had me feeling a little nervous, we stopped at the service station to pray, then I drove the rest of the way (which helped ease the nerves). Oh and there was a huge accident that we saw. Driving when it's raining requires extra caution.
+
+Once we got there it took a while to bring in all the gifts, but I think it worked perfectly, because I got to see lima without many people around and give her her Eid gifts (that smile was contagious, almost melted right there and then).
+
+Majority of the time there we spoke about final details for the Nikah, but the highlight was speaking to lima (!!!). She said I was soft, which made me really happy, because I know she wants safety, comfort and softness, so I want to try my best and provide those things for her at the very least.
+
+/Writing this up made me want the days to go by faster./

+* Review
+
+Majority of this week was spent working on the Journeys upgrade. Albeit the fact that it's the second week of Ramadan, I worked a total of 42.5 hours, which is way too much. I definitely do need to establish a work-life balance...

+## Welcome to the new lima page!
+
+I made quite a few changes. It all started when I realised that not everyone knows how to use `.org` files and editing with them (they are quite niche). So I decided to make a very unique solution by having markdown files, which through a process of very complicated transformations result into the very page you’re looking at now :)
+
+- You can edit files using this link in [nextcloud](https://nextcloud.zainezq.com/apps/files/files/18016?dir=/lima-website). 
+- You can pretty much use all the text editing features, minus a few unique ones like callouts. 
+- Inserting attachments is a cool feature, you can simply just use the *insert attachments* button, and insert the image that you want to insert. 
+- To insert links to other pages, you can use the insert link button and insert the URL where the page exists. For example, If I wanted to add a link to the main page it would be: <https://zainezq.com/>
+- One other thing is the [server dashboard](https://zone.zainezq.com/), the purpose of this is so that whenever any changes are made here, you can just click the **Update Website** button which rebuilds the website (cool isn’t it. Had to meddle with makefiles and threads).
+- I probably didn’t explain it as well, but you can create folders and files under the `lima-website` directory. The files must have a `.md` extension at the end (markdown).
+
+- One other thing, a more personal one: what do you think of all this? am i doing too much? am i doing too little? am i overengineering things? am i forcing you to do something you dont wanna do? these little trinkets work for me, but i’m not sure if it would work for someone else, so at any point if you have reservations, let me know okay?

-* TODO
+* Introduction
+Database security is a crucial part of database administration. It ensures that only authorised users can access, modify, or manage data. Three core concepts used to control access are:
+
+1. Accounts (logins/users)
+2. Roles
+3. Permissions
+
+These concepts work together to create structured and secure access control inside a database system.
+
+* 1. Database Accounts
+
+A *database account* represents an identity that can connect to the database system. In Microsoft SQL Server this is typically split into two layers:
+
+- *Login* → Authentication at the server level
+- *User* → Authorisation inside a specific database
+
+** Login (Server Level)
+
+A login allows someone or something to authenticate with the SQL Server instance.
+
+Example: Creating a login
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+CREATE LOGIN student_user
+WITH PASSWORD = 'StrongPassword123!';
+#+END_SRC
+
+You can also create a login linked to Windows authentication.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+CREATE LOGIN [DOMAIN\Zaine] FROM WINDOWS;
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Database User
+
+A login must be mapped to a user inside a database before it can access that database.
+
+Example:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+USE SchoolDB;
+
+CREATE USER student_user
+FOR LOGIN student_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+Now the login can access the *SchoolDB* database as the user *student_user*.
+
+* 2. Permissions
+
+Permissions define *what actions a user can perform*. These actions include reading data, inserting rows, modifying tables, or executing procedures.
+
+Common SQL Server permissions include:
+
+- SELECT → Read data
+- INSERT → Add new data
+- UPDATE → Modify data
+- DELETE → Remove data
+- EXECUTE → Run stored procedures
+- ALTER → Modify database objects
+- CONTROL → Full control over an object
+
+** Granting Permissions
+
+Permissions are given using the *GRANT* statement.
+
+Example: Allow a user to read data from a table.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+GRANT SELECT
+ON Students
+TO student_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Grant Multiple Permissions
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT
+ON Students
+TO student_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+This allows the user to read and add new rows.
+
+** Revoking Permissions
+
+If a permission should be removed:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+REVOKE INSERT
+ON Students
+FROM student_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Denying Permissions
+
+A *DENY* explicitly blocks an action, even if another role grants it.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+DENY DELETE
+ON Students
+TO student_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+* 3. Roles
+
+Roles are collections of permissions that can be assigned to multiple users. They simplify permission management by allowing administrators to assign permissions once and reuse them.
+
+Instead of granting permissions to many individual users, you grant them to a role.
+
+Example scenario:
+
+- Many students should be able to view course data.
+- Instead of assigning permissions to each student individually, create a role.
+
+** Creating a Role
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+CREATE ROLE student_role;
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Assign Permissions to the Role
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+GRANT SELECT
+ON Courses
+TO student_role;
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Add Users to the Role
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+ALTER ROLE student_role
+ADD MEMBER student_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+Now *student_user* inherits all permissions from *student_role*.
+
+* 4. Built-in Database Roles
+
+SQL Server includes several predefined roles that already have common permission sets.
+
+Examples:
+
+| Role Name     | Purpose                           |
+|---------------+-----------------------------------|
+| db_owner      | Full control over the database    |
+| db_datareader | Read all tables                   |
+| db_datawriter | Insert/update/delete all tables   |
+| db_ddladmin   | Create or modify database objects |
+
+Example: Add a user to the read-only role.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+ALTER ROLE db_datareader
+ADD MEMBER student_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+This allows the user to read all tables without giving modification rights.
+
+* 5. Example: Simple University Database Security
+
+Assume a database called *UniversityDB* with two tables:
+
+- Students
+- Courses
+
+Goal:
+
+- Students → Read course information
+- Teachers → Modify course data
+- Admin → Full control
+
+** Step 1: Create Roles
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+CREATE ROLE student_role;
+CREATE ROLE teacher_role;
+CREATE ROLE admin_role;
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Step 2: Assign Permissions
+
+Student role (read-only):
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+GRANT SELECT
+ON Courses
+TO student_role;
+#+END_SRC
+
+Teacher role:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE
+ON Courses
+TO teacher_role;
+#+END_SRC
+
+Admin role:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+GRANT CONTROL
+ON DATABASE::UniversityDB
+TO admin_role;
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Step 3: Add Users
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sql
+ALTER ROLE student_role ADD MEMBER student_user;
+ALTER ROLE teacher_role ADD MEMBER teacher_user;
+ALTER ROLE admin_role ADD MEMBER admin_user;
+#+END_SRC
+
+Now permissions are organised through roles instead of assigning them individually.
+
+* 6. Why Roles Are Important
+
+Roles provide several benefits:
+
+- *Simpler management* → Change permissions in one place
+- *Scalability* → Works well with many users
+- *Security consistency* → Reduces risk of incorrect permissions
+- *Easier auditing* → Clear structure of access control
+
+Without roles, administrators would need to manually manage permissions for every individual user.
+
+* Summary
+
+Database access control relies on three key components:
+
+- *Accounts* identify who is accessing the system (logins and users).
+- *Permissions* define what actions can be performed.
+- *Roles* group permissions together for easier management.
+
+In Microsoft SQL Server, administrators typically create logins, map them to database users, assign them to roles, and grant permissions to those roles. This layered approach ensures a secure and manageable database system.

+
+* Summary
+CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment. It’s a development practice that automates building, testing, and delivering software so code changes can be released quickly and reliably.
+
+** Continuous Integration (CI)
+
+CI means developers frequently merge their code into a shared repository. Every time code is pushed:
+
+1. The code is built automatically.
+2. Automated tests run.
+3. If something breaks, the team is alerted.
+
+Goal: catch bugs early and ensure new code works with the rest of the project.
+
+** Continuous Delivery / Continuous Deployment (CD)
+CD takes the tested code from CI and prepares it for release.
+
+- Continuous Delivery: Code is automatically prepared for production, but a human approves the final deployment.
+
+- Continuous Deployment: Code is automatically deployed to production with no manual approval.
+
+Goal: make releases faster and safer.
+
+** Pipelines
+A pipeline is the automated workflow that runs these steps in sequence. Think of it as a script that defines what happens after a code change.
+
+Typical pipeline stages:
+
+1. Source – code pushed to repository
+2. Build – compile the application
+3. Test – run automated tests
+4. Package – create deployable artifact (e.g., Docker image)
+5. Deploy – release to staging or production
+
+Example simplified pipeline:
+
+~Code Push → Build → Test → Package → Deploy~
+
+Why CI/CD is useful
+
+- Faster development cycles
+
+- Fewer integration bugs
+
+- Automated testing and deployment
+
+- More reliable releases
+
+Common CI/CD tools
+
+- GitHub Actions
+
+- Jenkins
+
+- GitLab CI/CD
+
+- CircleCI
+
+In short:
+CI/CD uses pipelines to automatically build, test, and deploy software whenever code changes are made.
+
+
+* Learning by example
+
+During the first wave in 2026, we planned to get the netcore version of site visits out to customers. There were a bunch of tasks relating to this, so I asked AI to conceptually explain them.
+
+* Prompt:
+
+I want to understand builds and pipelines in more depth. we have a set of tasks to get a new upgraded project to customers. this is task 1:
+
+Add the .net core version to the TMC release pipeline. 
+Follow this guide so that the build artifacts are included in the TMC release 
+
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Documents?path=/TMC/Deployment/AddingANewProjectToTMC.md&_a=preview
+
+(This will add the artifact to the release, you will then need to test this locally, see the other task)
+
+After that, we need to make the below changes as we did for the DriverWebAPI:
+
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/TMC_Release/pullrequest/23129?path=/ReleasePackagesConfig.csv&_a=files
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Deployment/pullrequest/23154?_a=files
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/TMCBranchTool/pullrequest/23766?_a=files
+
+this is task 2: 
+Add application file and make deployable locally
+See this PR from when we previously did on Drivers: https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Deployment.Manifests.MFD/pullrequest/23188?path=/manifests/customers/dev/LocalDeploy/DEV/_apps.yml
+
+Note: That some of the properties in the files are different to what you have for a local deploy, if in doubt refer to main to ensure that we have no consistencies.
+
+Also, we don't need to alter the connection string as this has already been done.
+
+====
+
+This requires the previous tasks to be completed (main build and artifact added to release)
+
+Follow this commit as an example
+
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Deployment.Manifests.MFD/commit/aeb2dbf1bbcef1b672aee05fdc7988959afd1a36?refName=refs/heads/main
+
+Create a new application file for the dotnet core version of the service, swap it out in the manifests for the local deploy along with any relevant configuration
+
+There may be some differences due to this being a web api rather than a background service, and the fact that we use the appsettings.json rather than the app.config - in which case look to Arrivals and departures and vehiclev2 if that is still around
+
+Set up local TMC and deploy - make sure it works as expected
+
+This is now possible on the new domain joined machines with a VM - did it myself and it works well
+
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Documents?path=/TMC/Deployment/Local%20Deployment%20and%20running%20ATFs%20on%20non-domain%20joined%20machines.md&_a=preview
+
+this is 3:
+Make deployable in QA (Toblerone)
+Check out this commit for the AVL where the new service was added to the templates and the deploy file, use what was learned from the local deploy to ensure this works in the same way
+
+Check if you can just apply this to the toblerone box, the deploy_all.yml file governs what is actually deployed, this might not be possible but worth a check
+
+Test that Toblerone deploys okay
+
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Deployment.Manifests.MFD/commit/59db355dbb80c784d7b7ca9f3bb30fc00ef1d13e?refName=refs/heads/main&path=/manifests
+
+See this PR for how we did it last time for the Driver Web API: https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Deployment.Manifests.MFD/pullrequest/23320
+
+This needs to be changed for the current release, potentially the previous release if it errors when that happens as well as the ad hoc. See the last three files in the above PR. 
+
+task 4:
+Add artifact to the ad-hoc pipelines for QA / Cert
+Need to complete the previous Toblerone QA task first!
+
+We need to add a similar artifact for SiteVisits to the ad hoc QA / Cert release pipeline like so:
+
+Image
+
+And then give it a run and make sure it works.
+
+See the release pipeline here: TMC.SiteVisitsWebApi - Pipelines
+
+task 5: 
+Ensure that you test each endpoint with different data, ensuring the experience is exactly the same for each endpoint (auth, request / response)
+
+As we are planning to hotswap the instances over, they must work exactly the same
+
+Make sure its on the same URL
+
+task 6: 
+Make deployable in the rest of QA
+We have this running in Toblerone QA, once we are happy with the API in Toblerone we need to roll it out to the rest of QA.
+
+Aaron also suggested considering doing the internal CERT environments at this stage, then we have a more live like environment tested early on too.
+
+See this PR for how we did this for the Driver Web API: https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/Deployment.Manifests.MFD/pullrequest/24329?path=/manifests/TemplateFiles/26.1/QA/deploy_tmc.yml

+Ensure that the new Serilog logs are captured into elastic
+This file needs updating with the paths for the serilogs in the sitevisitswebapi
+
+https://azdo.microlise.com/MicroliseCollection/Microlise/_git/ELK-Beats?path=/inventories/uat_web_servers/templates/filebeat~planBstructuredLogs.yml
+
+However it does not look like servicename and customername parsing is working for the existing logs 
+
+Effectively, add a line like this but for our SiteVisits API:

+
+
+* Response
+
+You’re essentially looking at a **full CI/CD path** for introducing a **new version of a service (.NET Core API)** into a large enterprise deployment system. The tasks look complicated because they touch **multiple layers of the delivery pipeline**, not just code.
+
+I'll explain this in a **mental model first**, then walk through **what each task is really doing in the pipeline**.
+
+---
+
+** 1. The Big Picture: What a Build & Release Pipeline Is
+
+In enterprise systems like Azure DevOps, deployment is usually split into two major stages.
+
+1. Build Pipeline (CI)
+
+Purpose: **Turn source code into deployable artifacts**
+
+Steps typically include:
+
+#+begin_src 
+Code → Restore packages → Compile → Run tests → Package → Publish artifact
+#+end_src
+
+Output = **artifact**
+
+Example artifact:
+
+#+begin_src 
+SiteVisitsWebApi.zip
+#+end_src
+
+This artifact contains:
+
+#+begin_src 
+dlls
+configs
+dependencies
+startup files
+#+end_src
+
+Think of an **artifact** as a **versioned package of your application**.
+
+
+2. Release Pipeline (CD)
+
+Purpose: **Take the artifact and deploy it to environments**
+
+Example environments:
+
+#+begin_src 
+Local
+QA
+CERT
+UAT
+LIVE
+#+end_src
+
+Each environment might have:
+- different configs
+- different servers
+- different manifests
+
+
+*Your System Specifically*
+
+You are working with something like:
+
+#+begin_src 
+
+
+Git Repo
+   ↓
+Build Pipeline
+   ↓
+Artifacts
+   ↓
+TMC Release Pipeline
+   ↓
+Deployment Manifests
+   ↓
+Servers
+
+#+end_src
+
+
+** 2. Why This Task Exists
+
+You are **introducing a new .NET Core version of an API**.
+
+Previously there was likely:
+
+#+begin_src 
+SiteVisitsWebApi (.NET Framework)
+#+end_src
+
+Now:
+
+#+begin_src 
+SiteVisitsWebApi (.NET Core)
+#+end_src
+
+
+So you must:
+
+1. Build it
+2. Package it
+3. Add it to release pipeline
+4. Update deployment configs
+5. Deploy to environments gradually
+
+
+** 3. What Each Task Actually Means
+
+I'll translate the tasks into **plain engineering intent**.
+
+
+
+*** Task 1: Add .NET Core Version to Build + Release
+
+What is happening?
+
+You add the **new project to the build pipeline** so it produces an artifact.
+
+Before:
+
+~Build → DriverWebAPI artifact~
+
+After:
+
+#+begin_src 
+
+Build → DriverWebAPI artifact
+      → SiteVisitsWebApi artifact
+
+#+end_src
+
+
+Why the PRs exist
+
+These repositories control deployment:
+
+#+begin_src 
+TMC_Release
+Deployment
+TMCBranchTool
+#+end_src
+
+They likely manage:
+
+| Repo          | Purpose                   |
+| ------------- | ------------------------- |
+| TMC_Release   | release packaging         |
+| Deployment    | deployment scripts        |
+| TMCBranchTool | release branch automation |
+
+
+What ReleasePackagesConfig.csv probably does
+
+Something like:
+
+#+begin_src 
+
+ServiceName,ArtifactName,DeploymentType
+DriverWebApi,DriverWebApi.zip,WebApi
+SiteVisitsWebApi,SiteVisitsWebApi.zip,WebApi
+
+#+end_src
+
+So the pipeline knows:
+
+#+begin_src 
+Include this artifact in the release bundle
+#+end_src
+
+
+Result of Task 1
+
+Your pipeline will now produce:
+
+Artifacts:
+
+~DriverWebApi~
+
+~SiteVisitsWebApi~
+
+
+And release pipeline can access them.
+
+
+
+*** Task 2: Make Deployable Locally
+
+Now you test deployment **without affecting real environments**.
+
+This uses **deployment manifests**.
+
+
+What a manifest is
+
+A manifest is basically a **deployment recipe**.
+
+Example:
+
+#+begin_src yaml
+
+apps:
+  - name: sitevisitswebapi
+    artifact: SiteVisitsWebApi
+    port: 5000
+    config: appsettings.json
+  
+#+end_src
+
+It tells the deployment system:
+
+deploy this artifact
+with these configs
+to this environment
+
+
+What you do here
+
+Create a new **application definition**.
+
+Example:
+
+~_apps.yml~
+
+Add:
+
+~sitevisitswebapi~
+
+Then configure:
+
+#+begin_src 
+artifact source
+ports
+configs
+environment variables
+#+end_src
+
+
+Why they mention differences
+
+Your service is:
+
+~Web API~
+
+instead of
+
+~Background Windows Service~
+
+So deployment might differ:
+
+| Background service | Web API                 |
+| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| runs as service    | hosted in IIS / kestrel |
+| app.config         | appsettings.json        |
+
+Result of Task 2
+
+You can now run:
+
+local TMC deployment
+
+and your API launches locally.
+
+*** Task 3: Deploy to QA (Toblerone)
+
+Now you move from:
+
+Local → QA
+
+"Toblerone" appears to be a **specific QA environment/server**.
+
+
+You update manifests like:
+
+deploy_all.yml
+
+Which probably contains:
+
+#+begin_src yaml
+
+
+apps:
+  - driverwebapi
+  - sitevisitswebapi
+#+end_src
+
+So the deployment engine knows:
+
+deploy this service in QA
+
+
+Then test deployment.
+
+
+*** Task 4: Add to Ad-hoc QA / Cert Pipelines
+
+These are **manual release pipelines**.
+
+Example use:
+
+~Dev: deploy specific service to QA quickly~
+
+
+Instead of full release.
+
+You add the artifact there so people can manually deploy it.
+
+
+*** Task 5: Endpoint Testing
+
+Critical step.
+
+You must confirm the new API behaves **exactly like the old one**.
+
+Because they plan a **hotswap**.
+
+Meaning:
+
+Old API → replace with new API
+same URL
+same behaviour
+
+If anything changes, clients break
+
+So test:
+
+Auth
+Request formats
+Response formats
+Error codes
+
+
+*** Task 6: Deploy to Remaining QA
+
+Once Toblerone works:
+
+Toblerone QA → All QA environments
+
+Example:
+
+QA1
+QA2
+QA3
+
+Maybe also:
+
+Internal CERT
+
+
+*** Task 7: Logging (Serilog → Elastic)
+
+The new API logs differently.
+
+Probably something like:
+
+~logs/sitevisitswebapi/*.log~
+
+
+Filebeat must be told to collect them.
+
+Example config:
+
+#+begin_src 
+- type: log
+  paths:
+    - /logs/sitevisitswebapi/*.log
+#+end_src
+
+Then logs go:
+
+~Server → Filebeat → Elasticsearch → Kibana~
+
+
+*** Task 8: Deploy to UAT
+
+UAT = staging environment.
+
+Production-like testing
+
+Here you update the deployment manifests to use the **new API**.
+
+
+
+*** Task 9: Deploy to Live
+
+Final production rollout.
+
+Same process:
+
+manifest updates
+deploy pipeline
+verification
+
+
+** 4. The Entire Flow (Visual)

+All QA
+       │
+       ▼
+UAT
+       │
+       ▼
+LIVE
+#+end_src
+
+
+** 5. Why Enterprise Pipelines Feel Complicated
+
+Because deployment is separated into **many independent systems**:
+
+| Layer              | Responsibility          |
+| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| Build pipeline     | compile code            |
+| Artifact storage   | store packages          |
+| Release pipeline   | orchestrate deployments |
+| Manifests          | describe environments   |
+| Deployment scripts | actually install        |
+| Logging            | monitor                 |
+
+Each lives in **different repos**.
+
+
+** 6. The Most Important Concept to Understand
+
+Everything revolves around **artifacts**.
+
+#+begin_src 
+Source Code
+   ↓
+Build
+   ↓
+Artifact
+   ↓
+Deploy artifact everywhere
+#+end_src
+
+You **never deploy source code directly**.
+
+
+** 7. What You're Really Doing in This Ticket
+
+You are teaching the deployment system:
+
+"Hey, there is a new service now"
+
+Then gradually making every environment aware of it.

+Note: REST and Webhooks are styles, not protocols
+
+* What is a RESTful API?
+
+A *RESTful API* is a web service that follows the principles of *REST (Representational State Transfer)*. REST is an architectural style used for designing networked applications.
+
+In a RESTful system:
+
+- Everything is treated as a *resource*
+- Resources are identified using *URLs*
+- Standard *HTTP methods* are used to interact with resources
+- Communication is usually done using *JSON*
+
+Example resource:
+
+#+begin_src
+/users
+/users/1
+/users/1/orders
+#+end_src
+
+These represent data stored on the server.
+
+* Core HTTP Methods
+
+REST APIs rely heavily on HTTP verbs.
+
+| Method | Purpose                     | Example Endpoint |
+|--------+-----------------------------+------------------|
+| GET    | Retrieve data               | GET /users       |
+| POST   | Create a new resource       | POST /users      |
+| PUT    | Update an existing resource | PUT /users/1     |
+| DELETE | Remove a resource           | DELETE /users/1  |
+
+* Example Resource: User
+
+Assume we have a simple *User* resource:
+
+#+begin_src json
+{
+  "id": 1,
+  "name": "Alice",
+  "email": "alice@email.com"
+}
+#+end_src
+
+The API allows clients to create, read, update, and delete users.
+
+* Creating a REST API in C# (ASP.NET Core)
+
+In C#, REST APIs are commonly built using *ASP.NET Core Web API*.
+
+Example project creation:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+dotnet new webapi -n UserApi
+cd UserApi
+dotnet run
+#+end_src
+
+This creates a ready-to-run REST API project.
+
+* Defining a Model
+
+First, define the resource model.
+
+File: Models/User.cs
+
+#+begin_src csharp
+namespace UserApi.Models
+{
+    public class User
+    {
+        public int Id { get; set; }
+
+        public string Name { get; set; }
+
+        public string Email { get; set; }
+    }
+}
+#+end_src
+
+This represents the data stored and returned by the API.
+
+* Creating a Controller
+
+Controllers handle HTTP requests.
+
+File: Controllers/UserController.cs
+
+#+begin_src csharp
+using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
+using UserApi.Models;
+
+namespace UserApi.Controllers
+{
+    [ApiController]
+    [Route("api/[controller]")]
+    public class UserController : ControllerBase
+    {
+        private static List<User> users = new List<User>()
+        {
+            new User { Id = 1, Name = "Alice", Email = "alice@email.com" },
+            new User { Id = 2, Name = "Bob", Email = "bob@email.com" }
+        };
+
+        [HttpGet]
+        public ActionResult<List<User>> GetUsers()
+        {
+            return Ok(users);
+        }
+    }
+}
+#+end_src
+
+Endpoint created:
+
+#+begin_src
+GET /api/user
+#+end_src
+
+Response:
+
+#+begin_src json
+[
+  { "id": 1, "name": "Alice", "email": "alice@email.com" },
+  { "id": 2, "name": "Bob", "email": "bob@email.com" }
+]
+#+end_src
+
+* Getting a Single Resource
+
+Add an endpoint to retrieve a specific user.
+
+#+begin_src csharp
+[HttpGet("{id}")]
+public ActionResult<User> GetUser(int id)
+{
+    var user = users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == id);
+
+    if (user == null)
+    {
+        return NotFound();
+    }
+
+    return Ok(user);
+}
+#+end_src
+
+Endpoint:
+
+#+begin_src
+GET /api/user/1
+#+end_src
+
+* Creating a Resource (POST)
+
+Clients send JSON data to create a new user.
+
+#+begin_src csharp
+[HttpPost]
+public ActionResult<User> CreateUser(User newUser)
+{
+    newUser.Id = users.Max(u => u.Id) + 1;
+    users.Add(newUser);
+
+    return CreatedAtAction(nameof(GetUser), new { id = newUser.Id }, newUser);
+}
+#+end_src
+
+Example request:
+
+#+begin_src json
+POST /api/user
+
+{
+  "name": "Charlie",
+  "email": "charlie@email.com"
+}
+#+end_src
+
+* Updating a Resource (PUT)
+
+#+begin_src csharp
+[HttpPut("{id}")]
+public IActionResult UpdateUser(int id, User updatedUser)
+{
+    var user = users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == id);
+
+    if (user == null)
+    {
+        return NotFound();
+    }
+
+    user.Name = updatedUser.Name;
+    user.Email = updatedUser.Email;
+
+    return NoContent();
+}
+#+end_src
+
+Endpoint:
+
+#+begin_src
+PUT /api/user/1
+#+end_src
+
+* Deleting a Resource
+
+#+begin_src csharp
+[HttpDelete("{id}")]
+public IActionResult DeleteUser(int id)
+{
+    var user = users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == id);
+
+    if (user == null)
+    {
+        return NotFound();
+    }
+
+    users.Remove(user);
+
+    return NoContent();
+}
+#+end_src
+
+Endpoint:
+
+#+begin_src
+DELETE /api/user/1
+#+end_src
+
+* REST Principles
+
+A good REST API should follow these key ideas:
+
+** 1. Statelessness
+
+Each request contains all information needed.
+
+The server does *not store client session state*.
+
+** 2. Resource-Based URLs
+
+Endpoints should represent *nouns*, not verbs.
+
+Good:
+
+#+begin_src
+GET /users
+POST /users
+GET /users/1
+#+end_src
+
+Bad:
+
+#+begin_src
+GET /getUsers
+POST /createUser
+#+end_src
+
+** 3. Standard HTTP Status Codes
+
+| Code | Meaning      |
+|------+--------------|
+|  200 | OK           |
+|  201 | Created      |
+|  204 | No Content   |
+|  400 | Bad Request  |
+|  404 | Not Found    |
+|  500 | Server Error |
+
+* Example Full API Structure
+
+#+begin_src
+UserApi/
+├── Controllers/
+│   └── UserController.cs
+├── Models/
+│   └── User.cs
+├── Program.cs
+└── appsettings.json
+#+end_src
+
+* Testing the API
+
+You can test APIs using tools like:
+
+- curl
+- Postman
+- Swagger UI (included with ASP.NET)
+
+Example curl request:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+curl http://localhost:5000/api/user
+#+end_src
+
+* Summary
+
+A RESTful API:
+
+- Exposes *resources via URLs*
+- Uses *HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)*
+- Communicates typically using *JSON*
+- Is *stateless*
+- Returns *standard HTTP status codes*
+
+In C#, *ASP.NET Core Web API* makes building REST APIs straightforward using:
+
+- Models
+- Controllers
+- Routing
+- Built-in JSON serialization
