This repository contains the files associated with the Folder Sync technical assignment written in Python.
It utilizes only 1st party Python libraries (sans the PyTest and PyLint libraries).
It implements a Folder Synchronization module as of VEEAM's specifications.
And besides those mentioned, some other aspects were implemented as well:
- Version Control integration to GitHub through the PyCharm IDE
- Linting with PyLint, to enforce a cohesive coding style
- Creation of a Dockerfile, in order for the project to be passed through a CI pipeline in my personal GitHub repo and a possible deployment to a K8s engine like GKE
- Usage of PyTest in order to ensure good testing practices.
- Created a CI pipeline using GitHub Actions to automate the Linting and Testing processes, in order to ensure quality code is being provided in the event of working in an Agile team.
BONUS: The repository also contains a attempt at the PowerShell task just to exercise my Shell scripting skills. It is mostly the same as the Python task, sans the scheduling since it's been handled by PSScheduledJob (much like cronjobs are in Linux). Unfortunately I didn't run it since Powershell scripts must be digitally signed (which make sense, in order to prevent malicious shell scripts from being run).
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS:
- I see the possibility of creating a Django project incorporating the Folder Sync backend module in order to perform the syncing using a graphical interface instead of the CLI.
- Deployment to Kubernetes, specifically to GKE.
