• Include tests

• Create CI/CD-process & think about OTAP-street for application (higher interval in OTA and lower in P (?) )

• Check if line 8 in init.py can be removed

• Surpress Response Header logging for Azure Tables Requests

• Update documentation

• Write documentation about pre-commit hooks
