Create an application that helps users find the most relevant prompts based on entered words
Deliver an application prototype to answer the above problem statement. By prototype, we mean:
- something usable, yet as simple as possible
- UI / design is not important
We expect to use this prototype as a starting point to discuss current implementation details and ideas for improvement.
- Ruby on Rails
- MySQL or PostgreSQL
- A search engine such as ElasticSearch or any other
- A web interface (can be VERY simple)
- Application is dockerized
- Application is hosted on Heroku
This solution was built using Ruby 3.2.2 and Rails 7.0.4.3. It has a docker-compose file with the required dependencies.
First, ensure you have Docker installed and running.
To build and start containers up, navigate to the application root inside terminal and run docker-compose up --build. It will download and configure the Ruby base image, copy the application to the image, download Elasticsearch, Redis, Nginx and PostgreSQL.
After building and starting the containers, open a new terminal session and run the following command to create the database, apply the migrations, populate and reindex the records in Elasticsearch:
docker-compose run --rm assignment rails db:create db:schema:load db:migrate db:seed
Since we are using Nginx to serve the application, once the containers are running, simply go to localhost without passing any port to access it.
