Repo: https://github.com/topcoder-platform/challenge-processor-es

Branch: develop

 

You will have to deploy the processor locally.

Detailed requirements

As part of this challenge, you need to update the Challenge V5 API to read challenges from ElasticSearch instead of dynamoDB. Existing code that’s reading data off DynamoDB should be cleaned up.

 

The data is stored into DynamoDB and is fed into ElasticSearch via the challenge-processor-es.

 

ElasticSearch is used for better performance and for more advanced searching capabilities.

You need to add support for filtering challenges based on any property of the challenge model.

You need to update the existing documentation (README.md), the POSTMAN collection and the Swagger definition to reflect your changes.

 

You are allowed to modify the challenge-processor-es if needed.

 

Should you have any questions, feel free to ask on the challenge forum!
