Project Bootstrap Complete - Initial Setup Verification

Summary

This issue tracks the completion of the project bootstrap process and serves as a verification checkpoint for the initial setup.

Completed Setup Items

✅ Project Structure

  • Multi-tier architecture implemented (C backend, Python middleware, Node.js frontend)
  • Proper directory structure created
  • Build configurations for all components

✅ Development Environment

  • .gitignore file created for all languages
  • MIT License added with GitLab B.V. as copyright holder
  • README.md with comprehensive documentation

✅ Issue & MR Templates

  • Default issue template
  • Feature Proposal issue template
  • Default merge request template
  • Templates updated with correct project URLs

✅ Build Tools & Dependencies

  • CMake configuration for C backend
  • Python requirements.txt with Flask dependencies
  • Node.js package.json with Express dependencies

✅ Containerization

  • Individual Dockerfiles for each component
  • Multi-stage Dockerfile for complete application
  • Minimal, tagged base images for security

✅ CI/CD Pipeline

  • GitLab CI/CD configuration (.gitlab-ci.yml)
  • Advanced SAST enabled
  • Security scanning (SAST, Dependency Scanning, Secrets Detection)
  • Caching for all programming languages
  • Build, test, and deploy stages

Next Steps

  1. Development: Start implementing core functionality for each component
  2. Testing: Add comprehensive test suites for all components
  3. Documentation: Expand API documentation and user guides
  4. Security: Review and address any security findings from initial scans

Verification Checklist

  • All components build successfully
  • CI/CD pipeline runs without errors
  • Security scans complete successfully
  • Docker images build and run correctly
  • API endpoints respond as expected

This issue demonstrates the project template and can be used to verify that all bootstrap requirements have been met according to the development guidelines.
