# Backend Senior Coding Challenge 🍿

Welcome to our Movie Rating System Coding Challenge! We appreciate you taking

the time to participate and submit a coding challenge! 🥳

In this challenge, you'll be tasked with designing and implementing a robust

backend system that handles user interactions and provides movie ratings. We

don't want to check coding conventions only; **we want to see your approach

to systems design!**

**⚠️ As a tech-agnostic engineering team, we ask you to pick the technologies

you are most comfortable with and those that will showcase your strongest

performance. 💪**

## ✅ Requirements

- [ ] The backend should expose RESTful endpoints to handle user input and

  return movie ratings.

- [ ] The system should store data in a database. You can use any existing

  dataset or API to populate the initial database.

- [ ] Implement user endpoints to create and view user information.

- [ ] Implement movie endpoints to create and view movie information.

- [ ] Implement a rating system to rate the entertainment value of a movie.

- [ ] Implement a basic profile where users can view their rated movies.

- [ ] Include unit tests to ensure the reliability of your code.

- [ ] Ensure proper error handling and validation of user inputs.

## ✨ Bonus Points

- [ ] Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms for users.

- [ ] Provide documentation for your API endpoints using tools like Swagger.

- [ ] Implement logging to record errors and debug information.

- [ ] Implement caching mechanisms to improve the rating system's performance.

- [ ] Implement CI/CD quality gates.

## 📋 Evaluation Criteria

- **Systems Design:** We want to see your ability to design a flexible and

  extendable system. Apply design patterns and software engineering concepts.

- **Code quality:** Readability, maintainability, and adherence to best

  practices.

- **Functionality:** Does the system meet the requirements? Does it provide

  movie

  ratings?

- **Testing:** Adequate test coverage and thoroughness of testing.

- **Documentation:** Clear documentation for setup, usage, and API endpoints.

## 📐 Submission Guidelines

- Fork this GitHub repository.

- Commit your code regularly with meaningful commit messages.

- Include/Update the README.md file explaining how to set up and run your

  backend, including any dependencies.

- Submit the link to your repository.

## 🗒️ Notes

- You are encouraged to use third-party libraries or frameworks to expedite

  development but be prepared to justify your choices.

- Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need clarification on the

  requirements.

- Remember to approach the challenge as you would a real-world project, focusing

  on scalability, performance, and reliability.

## 🤔 What if I don't finish?

Part of the exercise is to see what you prioritize first when you have a limited

amount of time. For any unfinished tasks, please do add `TODO` comments to

your code with a short explanation. You will be given an opportunity later to go

into more detail and explain how you would go about finishing those tasks.
