This pull request introduces updates to environment configuration, email service logic, and infrastructure provisioning. The changes aim to enhance security, improve email functionality, and streamline deployment processes. Key updates include replacing placeholder values with secure configurations, adding support for dynamic base URLs in email links, and integrating SendGrid API keys into AWS Secrets Manager.

Environment Configuration Updates:

• .env.template: Updated database and security configurations with more secure and descriptive values, including changes to DB_URL, DB_NAME, SECRET_KEY, and EMAIL_API_KEY. Added APP_BASE_URL for constructing verification links.
• docker-compose.yml: Added APP_BASE_URL as an environment variable for services, enabling dynamic URL configuration. [1] [2]

Email Service Enhancements:

• backend/event_ticketing_service/app/services/email.py: Introduced APP_BASE_URL for constructing dynamic links in ticket confirmation emails. Updated fallback behavior to use a generic domain if APP_BASE_URL is not set. Modified email templates to use dynamic links for "View My Tickets," "Terms of Service," "Privacy Policy," and "Contact Us." [1] [2] [3]

Infrastructure Changes:

• terraform/main/main.tf: Added resources for storing and managing SendGrid API keys in AWS Secrets Manager. Updated ECS cluster module to include sendgrid_api_key_arn, email_from_address, and app_base_url variables for email configuration. [1] [2]
• terraform/modules/ecs_cluster/main.tf: Updated ECS task definitions to pass EMAIL_FROM_EMAIL and APP_BASE_URL as environment variables and EMAIL_API_KEY as a secret. Extended IAM policy to grant access to the SendGrid API key secret. [1] [2] [3]

Variable Updates:

• terraform/main/variables.tf and terraform/modules/ecs_cluster/variables.tf: Added new variables for sendgrid_api_key, email_from_address, and app_base_url to support email configuration and dynamic link generation. [1] [2]

backend/user_auth_service/.env.template:1

• The entire .env.template for the auth service was removed. Reintroduce an updated template including new variables like EMAIL_API_KEY, EMAIL_FROM_EMAIL, and APP_BASE_URL to ensure consistent local setup.

DB_URL=localhost

backend/event_ticketing_service/app/services/email.py:55

• [nitpick] The docstring had its Args: and return documentation removed. Consider restoring parameter and return value descriptions to keep the function self-documented.

"""

[nitpick] Using a simple string replace may inadvertently strip valid parts of URLs. Consider using urllib.parse or a similar URL library to reliably construct the root URL.

[Copilot]

Since APP_BASE_URL has a default non-empty value from os.getenv, this branch will never execute. If you intend to detect a missing environment variable, retrieve the raw environment lookup first, then apply a default only after the check.

Suggested change

	# Fallback to a generic domain if not set, but log an error
	base_url = "http://resellio.com"
	# Apply default or fallback explicitly
	base_url = "http://localhost:8080" # Default for development
