Architecture

The diagram illustrates the complete workflow:

1. Local Development:

   • Create a Python FastAPI application
   • Define a Containerfile
   • Build a container image using Podman/Docker

2. IBM Container Registry:

   • Tag the local image with the IBM Container Registry URL
   • Push the container image to IBM Container Registry

3. IBM Code Engine:

   • Create secrets for registry access and API credentials
   • Deploy the container from IBM Container Registry to IBM Code Engine
   • The application runs with the configured environment variables
