🐙 Kraken - Software Engineer challenge

This repository is meant to be used as a challenge for Software Engineer candidates at Tradebyte within CPS.

You should fork/clone this repository to use as a basis for the challenge.

The challenge

The purpose of this challenge is to build an application metadata management application. The metadata are arbitrary key value pairs. The application name can be expected to be unique and may be used as a reference for a relationship between applications. (e.g. application a depends on application b) You can use the framework(s) and language(s) of your choosing.

Requirements:

• Store application metadata
  • The metadata are arbitrary key value pairs.
  • The key name is the only required key value pair and should be unique.
  • There might be a depends-on key value pair which can reference a name of another application which should link to the application.
• Choose (an) appropriate framework(s) to build:
  • A frontend for the application metadata
    • It should provide the ability to do CRUD operations.
  • An API (REST, GraphQL, …) to be able to programmatically connect to the data.
    • This should also provide CRUD operations.
  • Backend including data storage (SQlite, Redis, Postgres, …)
  • This should provide the data to the frontend and api.
  • Note: It is fine to build a monolithic application or split it up into multiple parts.
• You can run this application locally in Docker or any other appropriate service of your choice.
• Please keep maintainability and best practices in mind.
• Think about scalability and performance.
