Discovery: Run Postman Collection against EKS-Next Cluster

[pjhill]

Description

Given that we want to be able to run our Postman test collection against any vets-api instance running in any EKS cluster, we need to come up with a solution that does not rely on external routing being setup. Consider solutions that allow the Postman collection to be retrieved into any EKS cluster, executed against an internal (to the cluster) vets-api instance, and reported out of the cluster for on-demand review.

Consider

• Postman collection can be retrieved from cloud or from a GitHub repository
• Newman CLI use is probably desirable
• The results of testing will need to be available outside of the cluster
• We want to run the test collection after vets-api is confirmed to be up and running
• We probably only want to run the tests once
• It might be nice to be able to run the tests again with the push of a button

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] Proposed solution enables Postman collection runs inside of the eks-next cluster
• [x] Proposed solution enables a user to view the results of the collection's execution at a later time

Currently experimenting with running the vets-api postman collection from inside the postman/newman docker hub image and hitting a local instance of vets-api running in Docker. For some reason, the postman/newman docker container can't hit the vets-api instance using localhost.

Scheduled a meeting with Patrick and Ben for tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping to work out a plan of attack for the implementation.

Next step from the meeting is to create and refine a design document. I will work on and review that design document with Ben and Patrick. Once the design document is finalized we will share that with the Product team and create additional tickets for implementation of the design document.
