Reading/Web/Setting up a new service


 * Consider whether an existing services repo can be used. Note you should be thinking 6 weeks ahead of deploy about when and how you want to deploy this.


 * Setup a new git repo for the code e.g.
 * You'll need to request a deploy repo
 * Clone the service template
 * It has got most of the things you need to get started - it exposes endpoints, and it's easy to add your own; it allows you to interact with RESTBase and the MW action API in an easy manner; and it also has a load of goodies that come in handy once the service is in production: a streamlined build and deployment process, logging and metrics collection, scaling, etc. You can read a bit more about it in the documentation.
 * Write the service
 * Deploy the service
