Write an application in a language of your choice which covers the deatils below. It will be evaluated according to categories at the bottom of the this readme.
Your application should be a simple, small, operable web-style API service. It should implement the following items:
- a simple root endpoint which responds in a simple manner; "hello world" or some such
- a health endpoint which returns an appropriate response code
- a metadata endpoint which returns basic information about your application; example:
"myapplication": [
{
"version": "1.0",
"description" : "technical test",
"lastcommit": "c0484c"
}
]- tests or a test suite; the type of testing is up to you
Once the application has been written, continue with the following additions:
- provide a means of packaging your application as a single deployable artifact which encapsulates its dependencies
- create a pipeline that builds your application on each commit; Travis or similar, for example
- describe or demonstrate any risks associated with your application/deployment
- write a clear and understandable
READMEwhich explains your application and its deployment steps
Preferred option is a link to public git repository with your solution. Alternatively a git-bundle or zip archive are acceptable.
The solution and documentation will be rated against the following categories:
- Simplicity
- Code / documentation layout
- Ease of deployment
- Idempotency
- Security
- Anti-fragility
The documentation is as important as the code. We are looking to understand why you chose a certain solution and what trade offs it has. Be prepared to answer any question about your solution at the next interview stage.
