We don't want to be using the redis API directly as we might want to have a different data store on development and differnet one on production.

We should have an interface that should implement th following:

add
list
get
delete

We would like to be enable the developers to be able to just use one command and the application is ready to be tested.

docker-compose up should be enought IMO.

The API should take two parameters @username and num_of_days and then also validate the user if the user exists with the workspace.

then the API should add the user to the backend data store (redis) in our case.

We want to be able to have continuous integration enabled all the time, whenever there is a single commit anywhere the developer should be able to push the code and be able to play with the live version of the code at any time.

We should have

• Build system
• pipelines
• System similar to gitlab review apps

And once a commit is merged to master, we would like to be able to immediately deploy the version to production in as smoothest way as possible, possibly using kubernetes.

We should be able to have a inital repo ready with a simple hello world API in the beginning.

If we are using express we should have the initial directory structure ready. I suggest we use soemthing like this:

- slack-fireman
----README.md
----docker-compose.yml
----scripts (If required)
----src
--------backend
----------------express-related-files
----------------Dockerfile

Something like this.

• Create a directory structure
• Have a simple API ready to play with.
