abhi11/numbers

Simple Web server for sorting

numbers

How to run

• go get githuh.com/abhi11/numbers
• cd ~/$GOPATH/src/githuh.com/abhi11/numbers
• go build && ./numbers

API

• Endpoint: /numbers
• Query Params:
  • u : url
• Usage: http://localhost:8888/numbers?u=http://example.com/primes&u=http://foobar.com/fibo
• Output:

{
   "numbers" :[1,2,3,5,7,8]
}

Assumptions:

• It is okay to select some invalid URLs after a basic check

  • This assumption makes the selection of URLs faster
  • This makes the whole process faster as the calls to these URLs are parallel
  • The invalid may take more than 3 seconds to reply and throw an error but all the valid URLs are queried by that time

• It is okay to support both GET and POST methods for the endpoints.

  • Currently it supports both GET and POST

• 500 ms is the time for all calculations(i.e. GET calls and sorting)

  • So the time to write the response is independent of the time constraint
  • Time constraint only applies to the main business logic of making the GET calls and sorting result

• The output format expected from the dummy servers(like demo/demo.go) is

{
   "numbers" :[1,2,3,5,7,8]
}

Note:

• The directory demo has the problem statement and dummy server for numbers
