GitHub Actions Approval API

This is the API used by github-actions-approval-request.

The API is responsible for triggering webhooks in API teams and receiving requests from Teams message cards to deploy a specific build.

Repository Structure

./app contains all the API code. The API is designed to run as an Azure Function.

./infra-azure uses Pulumi to deploy the API
