+# DevOps Info Service
+
+## Overview
+
+Web service that reports system information and health status. Provides API endpoints for service info, hostname, platform, uptime, and request details.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11+
+- pip
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+python -m venv venv
+venv\Scripts\activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+python app.py
+```
+
+Default: `http://0.0.0.0:5000`
+
+**Custom config:**
+
+```bash
+PORT=8080 python app.py
+HOST=127.0.0.1 PORT=3000 python app.py
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### `GET /`
+
+Returns service and system information.
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:5000/
+```
+
+### `GET /health`
+
+Health check endpoint.
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:5000/health
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Variable | Default   | Description  |
+| -------- | --------- | ------------ |
+| `HOST`   | `0.0.0.0` | Host address |
+| `PORT`   | `5000`    | Port number  |
+| `DEBUG`  | `False`   | Debug mode   |

+# Lab 1 Submission
+
+## Framework Selection
+
+**FastAPI** - Modern, fast, has auto-docs and async support.
+
+| Criteria  | FastAPI   | Flask      | Django |
+| --------- | --------- | ---------- | ------ |
+| Speed     | Very Fast | Fast       | Medium |
+| Auto Docs | Yes       | No         | No     |
+| Async     | Yes       | Limited    | Yes    |
+| Size      | Small     | Very Small | Large  |
+
+**Why not Flask?** Flask is simpler but FastAPI has better async and auto-docs.
+
+**Why not Django?** Too big for this simple service.
+
+## Best Practices Applied
+
+1. **Code Organization** - Separated into routes/, services/, config.py
+2. **Error Handling** - 404 and 500 handlers
+3. **Logging** - Basic logging setup
+4. **Environment Variables** - Config via env vars
+5. **Clear Function Names** - get_system_info(), get_uptime(), etc.
+
+## API Documentation
+
+### `GET /`
+
+Returns service info, system info, runtime, request details, and endpoints list.
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:5000/
+```
+
+### `GET /health`
+
+Returns health status and uptime.
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:5000/health
+```
+
+### Error Responses
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:5000/something
+# {"error": "Not Found", "message": "Endpoint does not exist"}
+```
+
+## Testing Evidence
+
+Screenshots in `docs/screenshots/`:
+
+- `01-main-endpoint.png`
+- `02-health-check.png`
+- `03-formatted-output.png`
+
+## Challenges & Solutions
+
+1. **Function name conflict** — Named the route handler `get_system_info()` which conflicted with the imported function from `services.system_info`. When calling `get_system_info()` inside the route handler, Python was calling the route handler itself instead of the imported function, causing recursion errors. Fixed by importing the entire module as `import services.system_info as system_info_service` and accessing functions via `system_info_service.get_system_info()`.
+
+2. **Timezone method call error** — Used `timezone.utc.tzname()` without arguments, but `tzname()` method requires a datetime object as parameter. This caused `TypeError: timezone.tzname() takes exactly one argument (0 given)`. Fixed by calling `tzname()` on a datetime object: `datetime.now(timezone.utc).tzname()`.
