Summary:

The application takes in a list of horses from a database and generates races using these horses. The odds of each horse is dynamically calculated based on the score of each horse in regard to the scores of the other horses in the same race. These races are then sent to a bookie who shows the odds and the races to the client. The client can bet on any horse in the race they are shown.

The client can choose what horse to bet on and how much to bet on the horse, or they can choose not to bet on the current race at all.
Races are run every minute, and the winner of the race is broadcast to every client that bet on that race. A new race is then generated and broadcast to all connected clients and the process repeats.

How to Run the Code:

1. Ensure you have Minikube and Docker installed on your machine.

2. Start Docker desktop

3. You will need 2 terminals open for this project.

4. In the first terminal, run the following commands:

   minikube start
   kubectl create configmap mongo-init-configmap --from-file=mongo-init.js
   kubectl apply -f k8s/

   Wait until all the pods are running (this might take a while), you can see the status of the pods using:

   kubectl get pods

   When the pods are running:

   kubectl expose deployment bookie --type=LoadBalancer --port=8080
   minikube tunnel

5. In the second terminal run:

   mvn compile exec:java -pl client

The client is now running and you can interact with the system.
