V2 Feature
...
Requests (in no particular order)
Review of the document service endpoints
Alignment with best practices for performance of upload and ease-of-use
Clear stipulation of document lifecycle (hot → cold → archive); possibly even fields to set the lifecycle (if teams see value)
Our team noticed performance issues when uploading files, basically the client blazor app on cloud was uploading the file to server, then server uploading to document service api, resulting in upload times 2x the value they should be. We found Microsoft guidance on how to implement client app going directly to api without uploading to server but were not able to get working perhaps because the api does not use IFormFile interface: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/file-uploads?view=aspnetcore-5.0&pivots=server
Implementation of custom metadata field
Provide users with a json field to store program-specific data that would relate to the file being uploaded
Implementation of OData for efficient querying. Example: Add endpoint for querying by documentTypes fields ex documentTypes.Includes(t => t.Id == “ServiceRequestId” && “t.Value == “12345).
Event based pub/sub communication
Integration with MAACE service bus
Design specs for topics and event/message content
Preview functionality for images
Endpoint can return thumbnail for images
