Assessment

Candidates should assume that the solution will be deployed to an empty cloud subscription with no existing infrastructure in place.

Candidates are free to use the most appropriate release package of the App for their platform and should not try to compile it themselves.

There should not be a requirement for Servian to access a candidate's cloud services account to deploy this solution.

Demonstrate regular commits and good git workflow practices.

There is no time limit for this challenge.

Candidates should provide documentation on their solution, including:

  • Pre requisites for your deployment solution.
  • High level architectural overview of your deployment.
  • Process instructions for provisioning your solution.

  • Must be able to start from a cloned git repo.
  • Must document any pre-requisites clearly.
  • Must be contained within a GitHub repository.

Coding Style

  • Clarity of code
  • Comments where relevant
  • Consistency of Coding

Security

  • Network segmentation (if applicable to the implementation)
  • Secret storage
  • Platform security features

Simplicity

  • No superfluous dependencies
  • Do not overengineer the solution

Resiliency

  • Highly available Database

Tech Challenge Application

Single page application designed to be ran inside a container or on a vm (IaaS) with a postgres database to store data.

It is completely self contained, pre-built, and should not require any additional dependencies to run.

Install

  1. Download latest binary from release
  2. unzip into desired location
  3. and you should be good to go

Alternativly

docker pull servian/techchallengeapp:latest

Start server

update conf.toml with database settings

./TechChallengeApp updatedb to create a database and seed it with test data

./TechChallengeApp serve will start serving requests

Interesting endpoints

/ - root endpoint that will load the SPA

/api/tasks/ - api endpoint to create, read, update, and delete tasks

/healthcheck/ - Used to validate the health of the application

/debug - Used to print a debug message for the application

Finally
