Your assignment is to create a microservice which serves the contents of the People.csv through a
REST API. You are free to choose whatever programming language you are comfortable with, SDKs, web
frameworks, databases, and online resources to complete this exercise.
- Provide a REST API to your service
- Provide a working Dockerfile for your service
The service should expose two REST endpoints:
GET /api/players- returns the list of all playersGET /api/players/{playerID}- returns a single player by it's ID
Given a player line of the CSV file:
playerID,birthYear,birthMonth,birthDay,birthCountry,birthState,birthCity,deathYear,deathMonth,deathDay,deathCountry,deathState,deathCity,nameFirst,nameLast,nameGiven,weight,height,bats,throws,debut,finalGame,retroID,bbrefID
aardsda01,1981,12,27,USA,CO,Denver,,,,,,,David,Aardsma,David Allan,215,75,R,R,2004-04-06,2015-08-23,aardd001,aardsda01
The json representation of a player should be the following, where each field name is equal to the CSV column name:
{
"playerID": "aardsda01",
"birthYear": 1981,
"birthMonth": 12,
"birthDay": 27,
"deathYear": null,
"deathMonth": null,
"deathDay": null,
"nameFirst": "David",
"nameLast": "Aardsma",
"height": 75,
...
...
}Additional Requirements:
The service should expose two additional REST API endpoint:
PUT /api/players/{playerID}/weight - increments a player's weight by 1 PUT /api/players/{playerID}/height - increments a player's height by 1 The request and response payloads of these endpoints can be an empty JSON dictionary: {}
Rate Limiting::
The service should expose an additional REST API endpoint:
POST /api/sleep - sleeps for the specified duration in seconds, then returns. Example Request Payload:
{ "duration": 10 } Response Payload:
{} The API should only run a maximum of 5 concurrent requests at a time. If a sixth request is made while there are already 5 in-flight requests yet to be completed, the API should block until one of the in-flight requests complete, before executing the sleep.
