Modern software engineering can be a bit of a nightmare. You've got all these different third-party services to keep track of, and often many first-party microservices too! As it turns out, things can be made more simple using Gleam. Let me show you how.

Ensure you have Gleam and Erlang installed on your system. You can find instructions for installing Gleam here.
Then:
cd pokemon_battle_api
gleam runThe API will run on port 8000.
Battles will take place in the background every 10 seconds between every pair of Pokemon in the cache.
Both endpoints are implemented as GET endpoints.
| Path | Description |
|---|---|
/pokemon/:name |
Returns information about a Pokemon. |
/battle/:name1/:name2 |
Simulates a battle between two Pokemon. |
Run ./seed.sh <number> to seed Pokemon into the cache and watch the battles
happen in the background. Battles will also then be cached for later retrieval.
