Attendee - Java Spring REST API

Welcome to the Attendee - Java Backend REST API challenge!

In this challenge, we need to implement a REST API using Java Spring and CosmosDB as the database.

The REST API will be deployed to the Azure App Service.

Required endpoints

You need to implement all endpoints and corresponding models from the provided Swagger definition with the following tags:

• User

• Security

• Event

• EventType

• EventCategory

• Session

• Lookup

• UserPreferences

• UserEventAssignment

Scalability

To improve the scalability and load balancing of the app the backend needs to be separated into 2 microservices: the one covering events, sessions, users; and another one covering engagements, messages, wall posts. The load for the second one is potentially higher because of the nature of such interactions as messaging, posting, etc.

Technology overview

• Java 8

• REST API

• Cosmos DB

• Azure App Service

• Spring Framework 5.x

• Spring Boot 1.5.x

• Log4j 1.2

 

You will find the detailed Application Design Specification and the Swagger API definition attached on the challenge forum.

 

Feel free to ask on the challenge forum in case of any doubt/question.
