Veritix Python Service

Run with Docker

Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose installed.

1. Build the image:

docker compose build

2. Start the stack (app + Postgres):

docker compose up -d

The API will be available at http://localhost:8000.

Health check:

curl http://localhost:8000/health

Environment Variables

• QR_SIGNING_KEY: Secret used to sign and validate QR payloads. Defaults to test_signing_key in development.

ETL Pipeline

This service includes a simple ETL that pulls ticketing data from a NestJS API and loads summary tables into Postgres (and optionally BigQuery).

• Extracts events and ticket-sales from NEST_API_BASE_URL.
• Transforms into two summary tables:
  • event_sales_summary (event-level totals)
  • daily_ticket_sales (event/day breakdown)
• Loads into Postgres automatically if DATABASE_URL is set. BigQuery load is optional.

Configure

Copy .env.example to .env and set:

• DATABASE_URL: Postgres connection string.
• NEST_API_BASE_URL: Base URL of the NestJS API (e.g., https://nest.example.com/api).
• NEST_API_TOKEN: Optional bearer token.
• ENABLE_ETL_SCHEDULER: Set to true to enable periodic ETL.
• ETL_CRON: Optional cron expression (UTC). If not set, uses ETL_INTERVAL_MINUTES.
• ETL_INTERVAL_MINUTES: Interval for ETL run (default 15).
• BigQuery (optional): BQ_ENABLED, BQ_PROJECT_ID, BQ_DATASET, BQ_LOCATION.

Run

• Docker: docker compose up -d will start app and Postgres. Set env vars in compose or .env.
• Local: python run.py starts the API; scheduler runs if enabled.

Tables are created automatically on first load.

Stop and Clean Up

docker compose down

Running tests

Install test dependencies (preferably inside a virtualenv):

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the test suite with coverage:

python -m pytest --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing

The GitHub Actions workflow is configured to fail if overall coverage falls below 70%.
