Last XKE we had a brainstorm about this. Here are my notes: New DE assessment needs to be about: - problem solving - distributed systems - working with other peoples code Timing: Current timing suggestion (8-16h) is too long and too much to ask for a person to fit into his/her weekschedule. Need to be brought down to 8-10h Implicits: We discussed that the readme for the assessment has some implicit expectations in it (like we expect to see unit tests etc) One thing needs to be made more explicit though: - Handing in the code 24hrs in advance. Stretch that it doesn't need to be the final version A reminder 24hrs in advance would be helpfull. Also not plan the presentation on a Monday to prevent stealing valuable coding time from the candidates Data: The fact that we have 2 datasets with different formats is a good thing. Keep that Streaming: If a streaming use case is added it needs to have the possibility of instant and verifiable results/visualizations Multiple people who now the old xebia photoshop assessment liked the fact that you will be given a piece of code and had to/could do multiple things: - Make it run - fix some bugs - Add some feature(s) We discussed the use of the divolte shop project we have as a demo for divolte for this purpose: Divolte shop: Has: - Docker containers - Elasticsearch - Kafka - Redis - Grafana - Java code - Python code - A web front end - Multi arm bandit It hasn't: - Spark It isn't broken We can create specific branches with specific broken parts, problems, bugs that fit the skillset of the candidate. We need: A way for the candidate to work on the code without seeing ther peoples solutions. Investigate the use of private repo's/branches, instruct or github classroom Actionpoints: - Investigate repo/platform to use - Add spark stuff to divolte shop - Streaming divolte events from kafka - Have 2 large divolte event datasets with mutliple formats or different avro schema's - Create different type of bugs in the code to address different skill sets - Investigate possible features to add - Is docker-compose the right setup or do we need a cloudbased environment available
