Star Wars People API Integration Task

Goal

Build a small FastAPI-based microservice that integrates with the Star Wars API (SWAPI) and returns a list of all character names.

---

What You Need to Do

1. Implement the logic in services.py:

   • Use the SWAPI people endpoint

   • Collect all names and return them as a JSON list in this format:

     {
       "names": ["Luke Skywalker", "Darth Vader", "..."]
     }

2. Add Unit Tests in tests/test_main.py:

   • Use pytest and pytest-httpx
   • At least one test should check that the /people endpoint works as expected

3. Containerize the application:

   • Write a Dockerfile for the service
   • Create a docker-compose.yml file that builds the image and exposes the app on port 8000

4. Test usage without container:

This can be used for testing before containerization

uvicorn app.main:app --reload

---

Example Usage

After starting the service, the following request:

GET http://localhost:8000/people

Should return:

{
  "names": ["Luke Skywalker", "Darth Vader", "..."]
}

---

Requirements

• Async HTTP calls (using e.g. httpx)
• Proper error handling if external API fails
• Unit tests that pass
• Docker setup that runs the app and allows testing
• Avoid hardcoding
