Research and Development

• e2e-disposable-data

  • Establish a seeding strategy that allows graphs of data to be fed through the Rig API to prevent cirumvention of app API data restrictions.
  • Build out a vanilla TypeScript RigService class that provides an interface into the Rig API and automates database initialization + process start.
  • Integrate Cypress testing strategy (initially established in this gist into the RigService.
  • Establish lifecycle patterns that support multiple e2e tests in one RigService lifetime:
    • RigService:
      • Initialize Database
      • Start Process
      • Seed Data
      • Execute Test:
        • Initialize Database State
        • Run tests
        • Clear Database State
  • Potentially build out scripts reachable by the API for merging and generating reports in a configurable manner separate from the pre-baked package.json scripts.

• Minimal API Deep Dive

• Kestrel Hosting + Deployment Deep Dive

  • YARP
  • Kestrel + YARP

• Cerebro

  • Build out as an independent service suite that is more fully realized and flexible.
  • Look into multiple DB providers to support connecting to different database types per query.
  • Look into the new DbDataSource class.
  • Perhaps make EF query storage optional and refactor into a minimal API that supports a standard JSON schema regardless of source.

• gRPC Services

  • Flesh out the validity of using a standalone gRPC server for pass-through authentication sync.
  • See how this evolves after digging into Minimal APIs.

• OCR Service

  • Build out a standalone OCR service that allows an image to be posted and returns the text from the image.
  • Potentially able to use open source instead of Iron OCR.
    • OCR PowerToy
    • OcrEngine - Windows API

• Aggregator

  • Continue building out the concept of aggregating data streams for the purpose of dynamic entity retrieval and management from a single dashboard.
