Vision

Registration and check-in app for Believer's Elite Basketball Camp — a 3-day camp (June 4-6, 2026) run by Coach Marcus Draney and Brandon Averette in South Salt Lake City. Parents register and pay $165 online via Stripe, admins verify payment and check players in on camp day. Simple, fast, done before June 4.

User Stories

production-deploy Admin Live site with real payments Public URL, live Stripe, CI/CD pipeline

Architecture

Rails 8 monolith with Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus). Stripe Elements for payment (PaymentIntent flow, card never touches server). Plain CSS with design tokens — dark navy/royal blue theme.
  • Domain: Single model — Registration (parent info + player info + payment status + check-in status)
  • Data Flow: Page load → PaymentIntent created server-side → Card input via Stripe.js → Confirm client-side → Server verifies → Save with paid=true
  • Deployment: k8s pod (Thruster on port 80) → Tailscale Funnel ingress → believers-elite.tail5b443a.ts.net. SQLite with PersistentVolume. Harbor container registry. Woodpecker CI.
Key decisions:
  • Stripe Elements over Checkout — embedded card input, no redirect, matches single-page design
  • SQLite with PersistentVolume for production — single model, low traffic, 2-week shelf life. No CNPG overhead.
  • Debian (ruby:3.4.9-slim) over Arch Linux for Docker base — exact Ruby version pinning, half the image size, reproducible builds
  • No auth on admin yet (TODO — Keycloak OIDC)

Status

App: complete. Registration form, Stripe test payments, admin dashboard, check-in flow — all working. 15/15 Playwright E2E tests pass.
Deployment: in progress. Woodpecker CI merged (PR #2). Terraform applied — Harbor project, robot accounts, namespace, imagePullSecret, funnel all provisioned. Kustomize overlay + SOPS secrets merged (pal-e-deployments PR #169). Remaining: re-run tofu apply to create ArgoCD application (failed on first run because overlay didn't exist yet), then first image build + ArgoCD sync.
