Superformula Cloud Backend Test

Be sure to read all of this document carefully, and follow the guidelines within.

Summary

Build a GraphQL API for geographical data to receive an arbitrary address and return its coordinates (Latitude and Longitude).

Example response:

{
  "latitude": 37.821385,
  "longitude": -122.478779,
}

Requirements

Functionality

1. The API should follow typical GraphQL API design patterns
2. Proper error handling should be used

Tech Stack

• Use of TypeScript is required
• Please use infrastructure-as-code tooling that can be used to deploy all resources to AWS.
  • Terraform (preferred)
  • CloudFormation / SAM
  • Serverless Framework
  • AWS CDK
• Use AWS Lambda + AWS API Gateway
• Location query must use NASA, Google Maps, or Mapbox APIs to resolve the coordinate based on the address

Developer Experience

• Write unit tests for business logic
• Write concise and clear commit messages
• Developers must be able to run and test this service locally
• Document and diagram the architecture of your solution
• Write clear documentation:
  • Repository structure
  • Environment variables and any defaults
  • How to build/run/test the solution
  • Deployment guide

Bonus

These may be used for further challenges. You can freely skip these; feel free to try them out if you feel up to it.

Developer Experience

1. Code-coverage report generation
2. Online interactive demo with a publicly accessible link to your API

What We Care About

Use any libraries that you would normally use if this were a real production App. Please note: we're interested in your code & the way you solve the problem, not how well you can use a particular library or feature.

We're interested in your method and how you approach the problem just as much as we're interested in the end result.

Here's what you should strive for:

• Good use of current TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL & performance best practices
• Solid testing approach
• Logging and traceability
• Extensible code and architecture
• A delightful experience for other backend engineers working in this repository
• A delightful experience for engineers consuming your APIs

Q&A

How should I start this code challenge?

Fork this repo to your own account and make git commits to add your code as you would on any other project.

Where should I send back the result when I'm done?

Send us a pull request when you think you are done. There is no deadline for this task unless otherwise noted to you directly.

What if I have a question?

Create a new issue in this repo and we will respond and get back to you quickly.

I am almost finished, but I don't have time to create everything that is required

Please provide a plan for the rest of the things that you would do.
