AnyPortInAStorm

A (2 hour) coding exercise to look at RPC & Golang MicroServices.

To Run the Unit Tests

./test.sh

To run through docker, first build all the images.

./buildall.sh

Once you have built the images

docker compose up

To run locally, there are 2 scripts to run using "go runs". This uses a local database not the one defined in the docker compose file. To run the code like this you'll need the database which is all defined in the /db/init.sql.

runServer.sh

and

runClient.sh

To access the database,

docker exec -it anyportinastorm_mysql_1 mysql -u sqluser -psqlpass

To upload a file, you can use browser to http://localhost:8080 and use the form.

Or use curl

curl -F "[email protected]" http://localhost:8080/upload

Random Commands to make a Note off

Generate the RPC Code.

protoc --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=. PortController.proto

Log into the Docker Compose Database

docker exec -it anyportinastorm_mysql_1 mysql -u sqluser -psqlpass

Issues or things I am not happy with.

• Ideally I'd like to have spent alot more time than 2 hours on it.
• Memory Management is really poor (better use of pointers)
• The JSON for Cordinates, since slice orders are not guaranteed in Go, the Lat Long could be the wrong way around.
• Limited Database Connection pooling. (Open and Close for Each Save Operation)
• Seperate this project into 3 repo's PortController Defination, Client and Server
• Better Networking with a service mesh. (K8's is better here)
• Need to Use something like Vault for the Creds
• if there are No Cords, the database stores -1.

TODO's

• Use proper make files for building and running
• Implement Signals for the OS and Clean up nicely.
• Clean up the JSON import implement some streaming/chunking of the file. Fix the memory has well. (better use of pointers)
