Python applications make use of Flask, lxml, simplejson, gunicorn and other libraries to also provide RESTful services to be consumed by the wider platform. We have a keen focus on testing following behaviour and test driven development. The project is also undertaking continuous deployment via a Jenkins pipeline. The pipeline runs unit, functional/non functional and contract tests, packages the app in a docker container and releases Canary builds. We ensure our application is highly available whilst still allowing us to respond to business requests rapidly.
