This repository contains proposed solution for a task received from Erply.

The application uses github.com/erply/api-go-wrapper to read and write brands.

It is needed to add http header authorization with the value.

# Authorization: <sessionKey>:<client code>

curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://localhost:8081/v1/brand?skip=0&take=28' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: f3d39852878ffab3836d6e0da80c26629926eeab3e4:000000'

This project utilizes Redis as a local storage solution. Data is stored using composite keys, which consist of the URI path and URI parameters. For example, the URI path could be /v1/brand, and the associated parameters may include skip=0_take=25.

During a GET request, the system first checks the cache for the requested data. If no results are found in the cache, the data is retrieved from the Erply API and directly served to the API consumer. Simultaneously, the response is saved to the cache in the background.

When a new record is added for the /v1/brand URI, the cache is cleared for the brands category key. This ensures that only the relevant brand data is removed from the cache.

To ensure data freshness, the entire cache is flushed every 30 seconds, keeping the data up to date.

This caching mechanism optimizes data retrieval by minimizing reliance on the Erply API and significantly reducing response times for subsequent requests.

SwaggerUI is served from the server root. Additionally, a Postman collection can be found in the ./api directory.

Unit tests have been implemented and are passing for successful create and read list requests.
