Thank you for taking the time to review my submission for the AcmeBank Account Manager.
The layout of the project is simple MVC using Spring Boot. It has one controller which allows a user to query their balance and transfer between accounts.
The endpoint to query is http://localhost:8080/account/{account_number}
The endpoint to transfer is http://localhost:8080/transfer
The request must be POSTed and have a JSON payload of
{
initiatorId; //Who is sending the money
benefactorId; //Who is receiving the money
amountToTransfer; //How much is being sent
}
Running the tests can be done by running ./mvnw test
Cucumber tests should run alongside the unit tests, if not they can be found under src/test/resources/features/ Intellij should allow you to right click and run each Scenario
The database can be found at http://localhost:8080/h2-console

Notes:
- I omitted the concept of a Customer as I felt it would have added unnecessary complexity
- Logging is minimal, I think the application could benefit with more verbose logging, especially when transferring funds
- Database interactions are not transactional
- I considered adding a transaction log but thought this could be considered a nice to have
- Spring Dev tools is enabled, so the application might be quite verbose in places
- Running tests will overwrite values in the database
