Story: There are over 100,000 flights a day, with millions of people and cargo being transferred around the world. With so many people and different carrier/agency groups, it can be hard to track where a person might be. In order to determine the flight path of a person, we must sort through all of their flight records.
Goal: To create a simple microservice API that can help us understand and track how a particular person's flight path may be queried. The API should accept a request that includes a list of flights, which are defined by a source and destination airport code. These flights may not be listed in order and will need to be sorted to find the total flight paths starting and ending airports.
[["SFO", "EWR"]] => ["SFO", "EWR"]
[["ATL", "EWR"], ["SFO", "ATL"]] => ["SFO", "EWR"]
[["IND", "EWR"], ["SFO", "ATL"], ["GSO", "IND"], ["ATL", "GSO"]] => ["SFO", "EWR"]- Your miscroservice must listen on port 8080 and expose the flight path tracker under the /calculate endpoint.
- Define and document the format of the API endpoint in the README.
- Use Golang and/or any tools that you think will help you best accomplish the task at hand.
The API has following endpoints:
- GET
/v1/health - POST
/v1/calculate
Useful to check microservice status manually or automatically by load balancers.
Request example:
curl -X 'GET' \
'http://localhost:8080/v1/health' \
-H 'accept: application/json'Response example
{
"data": "pong",
"hostname": "75823749265host",
"ts": 1684755273

Given a list of passenger flights, it returns the starting point and travel destination point of given passenger.
Request example:
curl -X 'POST' \
'http://localhost:8080/v1/calculate' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '[["IND", "EWR"], ["SFO", "ATL"], ["GSO", "IND"], ["ATL", "GSO"]]'Response example
