SIM-Reporting-Service

The SIM-Reporting-Service is a TypeScript/Node.js report generation engine built on Azure Durable Functions. It processes report requests from a Service Bus queue, fetches data from SQL Server, renders PDF and CSV reports using EJS templates and Playwright Chromium, stores them in Azure Blob Storage, and publishes notifications for email delivery via the downstream SIM-Telemetry-JS notification service. This course provides a comprehensive deep dive into the SIM-Reporting-Service and its place within the broader SIM platform. You will learn the event-driven microservices architecture connecting SIM-Telemetry (.NET), SIM-Reporting-Service (Node.js), and SIM-Telemetry-JS (Node.js), including the four-factory pipeline design, Durable Functions orchestration, and Service Bus messaging patterns. Beyond architecture, the course covers practical operational knowledge: end-to-end data flows, error handling and retry behavior, security architecture with dual-layer PII encryption, CI/CD deployment pipelines, incident response runbooks, and the testing strategy. You will also learn how to extend the system by adding new report types and notification types, set up local development environments, and diagnose common production failures. Whether you are onboarding to the team, preparing for on-call duties, or deepening your understanding of Azure-based IoT reporting systems, this course equips you with the knowledge to work confidently with the SIM-Reporting-Service.
