Feel free to apply! Drop us a line with your LinkedIn/GitHub/Twitter and link of your code repository at [email protected]
At Tailwarden, we use mainly Golang but you are free to use any modern language/framework you wish. Here are some technologies we are more familiar with: JavaScript, Python, Java, Ruby.
Treat this project as if you/we would continue working on this after your assignment: maintainability, scalability, and readability are super important.
For this assignment, you are supposed:
- Build a server that connects to an AWS account and exposes the following API endpoints:
- Endpoint to list all AWS Lambda functions created in the AWS account across regions.
- Endpoint to search for Lambda functions using the following query params:
runtime: filter functions with a given runtime environment - Read more about Lambda runtimestags: filter functions with a given tag value or tag key - Read more about tags on Lambda.region: filter functions running in a given AWS region - Read more about list of AWS regions where AWS Lambda is supported
- Write a CI/CD pipeline (CircleCI, GitHub Actions, etc) to test, build and deloy the API.
When you’re done, host it somewhere (e.g. on AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2/EKS, Heroku, Google AppEngine, etc.)
Create a new repo into your favorite git platform (GitHub, Gitlab, etc) with a README file containing list of instructions to run the project.
After you've finished, you can share the repository URL with us.
After you delivered the completed assignment to us, we will review it as soon as we can, generally within 48 hours. We pay special attention to:
- Coding skills.
- Code organization (modularity, dependencies between modules, naming, etc)
- Overall code quality (edge cases, usage of tools, performance, best practices)
