Offers Service

The Offers web service provides a RESTful API for retrieving coupons.

To see this used, see "Retail Geofencing and Location-aware Personalization" in the in-app Demo Guide.

When deployed to AWS, CodePipeline is used to build and deploy the Offers service as a Docker container to Amazon ECS behind an Application Load Balancer. The Offers service can also be run locally in a Docker container. This makes it easier to iterate on and test changes locally before commiting.

Local Development

The Offers service can be built and run locally (in Docker) using Docker Compose. See the local development instructions for details. From the ../src directory, run the following command to build and deploy the service locally.

foo@bar:~$ docker compose up --build offers

Once the container is up and running, you can access it in your browser or with a utility such as Postman at http://localhost:8008.
