Our Projects:
We're looking for highly talented & motivated interns to join our Back-end team and nail one of the following projects:
1) Project Name: "Postgres Advanced Search"
- Project Description: Create a generic microservice that, given an expression (similar to what we currently use in our Advanced Search), generates the necessary SQL queries to fetch data from Postgres.
- Requirements:
- Build a validation layer for the expressions.
- Integrate the microservice with real-time query performance tracking.
- Stretch Goals: Allow Postgres fuzzy matching & aggregations on data.
- Technologies:Scala / Postgres / Docker / Kubernetes
2) Project Name: "NoSQL Generic Rollback System"
- Project Description: Most NoSQL databases do not support a rollback mechanism because of the nature of the DB. The task here is to implement a library that makes it easy to use in any codebase, allowing data to be recovered if something goes wrong programmatically. Ideally, it should work with any NoSQL DB, and data recovery can be handled asynchronously.
- Requirements:
-The candidate should consider an adequate design pattern to make the library easy to design and integrate into the codebase.
- Log any errors that occur.
- Test the library within one of our microservices.
- Technologies: Scala / Cassandra / Mongo / Redis / Kafka / RabbitMQ / Kubernetes
