SuperAPI is an example Gradle based API Server project for the Gaza Sky Geeks Continuous Delivery Workshop. With this workshop, you will build a basic HTTP based REST API and a continuous delivery pipeline that will deploy the API to a production server. We will also integrate the application with a monitoring service (New Relic).
