Welcome to the Briskk team! This assignment is designed to assess your technical expertise and problem-solving abilities in a real-world context directly relevant to our omnichannel marketplace. You will be working on developing a Data Ingestion Module, a key component of our platform. The module will read product data from a provided sample sheet and handle various operations like image uploads, error handling, and logging.
This assignment should take approximately 15-20 hours to complete. Please ensure your code is clean, maintainable, and well-documented.
Task:
Develop a service that reads product data from a sample sheet named BrandName_Briskk_SKU_Template.
Refer to this template:
Sample Sheet
Details:
- Implement logic to process the data in the sheet and map it to the relevant entities (e.g., products, SKUs, categories).
- Ensure the service can handle different data types and formats within the sheet.
- Develop an API endpoint to trigger the data ingestion process.
Task:
Implement robust error handling and logging mechanisms.
Details:
- The service should capture and log any errors encountered during data ingestion.
- Implement retry logic for transient errors (e.g., network issues during image upload).
- Store logs in a way that they can be easily accessed for debugging.
Task:
Handle image uploads associated with the products.
Details:
- If the image is provided via a file in the sheet, upload it to S3 and store the URL in the database.
- If an image URL is provided, verify its validity and upload it to S3 via streaming.
Task:
Design the service to be extensible.
Details:
- The module should be easily adaptable to support future integrations with external data sources like Browntape and Unicommerce.
- Consider how additional data manipulation functions could be added without significant refactoring.
- System Design: Include a high-level system architecture diagram that shows how the Data Ingestion Module fits into the larger system.
- Language: Any language of your choice should work.
- Cloud Services: AWS S3 for image storage or any service of your choice.
- Database: PostgreSQL (you can use a local or cloud-based instance) or any SQL DB.
- API: RESTful API design with a focus on best practices.
- Code Repository: A GitHub repository with the complete implementation.
- README: Include setup instructions, a description of the service, and details on how to run and test the module
- API Documentation: Document the API endpoint(s) using OpenAPI (Swagger) or a similar tool.
- Unit Tests (Optional): Provide unit tests for key components of the service.
- Demo : An MVP demonstrating the functionality of the module
- Technical Competence: Ability to design and implement a scalable and maintainable data ingestion service.
- Error Handling: Robustness in handling various edge cases, errors, and logging.
- Code Quality: Clean, readable code with proper documentation and testing.
- Extensibility: The ease with which the module can be extended to support new features or data sources.
- Innovation: Creative approaches to solving challenges in data ingestion and processing.
Submit your GitHub repository link along with any additional documentation or notes.
