Summary

Create a new CI workflow that runs a smoke test job when a PR is open.

Acceptance Criteria

• New CI check_smoke_tests.yml workflow

Details / Tasks

The smoke test should roughly do the following, but more steps can be added if identified during the development process

• start up a database
• build the Dockerfile
• run the RL service on the docker container
• send a series (~4 or so) of curl requests to the /link endpoint, and verify results

Background / Context

Smoke tests are a good way to verify basic functionality of the service is working. Much of the details of the API are tested within unit tests, but we don't have a way right now to verify that the Dockerfile image still builds as expected. Smoke tests should help with that.
