Challenge proposed by Trustvox staff to evaluate backend skills. The problem definition and instructions can be found here.

NOTE: This project was originally developed in this GitLab repository. If you're interested in more details about CI/CD setup or the development flow itself (issues, merge requests, tasks descriptions, etc) it's strongly recommended to check the project at gitlab.com/guustavov/mr-heckles.

This project has some pipeline instructions configured to run on Gitlab CI/CD. One of those instructions deploys to Gigalixir, which makes the API available at https://mr-heckles.gigalixirapp.com/api/v1/ when a merge request is accepted for branch master. Once it's a free trial environment, it may be expired and unavailable in the future.

In order to easily try some features, there is also available a dump of a Postman collection with some HTTP request suggestions. This .json file can be found in the root of this repository.

Make sure you have docker and docker-compose running and go to this repository root. Then you can run the following command (-d to run in detached mode - it's optional):

$ docker-compose up -d

This will build and run both the application and the Postgres container. After this, the API might be available at http://localhost:4000/api/v1/.

Install the following dependencies:

• Erlang 23.0.3
• Elixir 1.10.4

You can install it manually or via asdf by running the following command at the root directory:

$ asdf install

To install elixir dependencies and setup database, run the commands below. Before, make sure you have a Postgres server running locally on default port (5432) and acessible with default credentials ('postgres' as user and password), or change config/dev.exs as needed.

$ mix deps.get
$ mix ecto.setup

Finally, make the API available at http://localhost:4000/api/v1/ by running:

$ mix phx.server

We need to research about locales where consumer complains are made. That complains should have at least the attributes described bellow:

• Title
• Description
• Locale
• Company

Can you provide some services to ingest complains and get some data about its geolocation? For example, to find how many complains a specific company has in specific city?

• Use Restful instead Rest
• Use microservice design if possible
• Use a NoSql Database (if you use a database in your purpose)
• We need to scale your services, decouple your modules if possible
• Use devops mindset
• Use Ruby or Elixir language and patterns
