[Heroku retracted its free tier, therefore all my demos are unavailable until further notice.]
This is a project that was a previous recruitment task of mine. I fixed the points mentioned in the feedback and added dockerization, a CI/CD pipeline on SemaphoreCI, gunicorn, and changed hosting from pythonanywhere to heroku. The project is a books API: it provides a feature to upload books from Google Books API to the database and browse them (with optional filters).
- Python 3.9.12
- Django 4.0.3
- Django REST Framework 3.13.1
- PostgreSQL 14.2
- Gunicorn 20.1.0
- Docker
- SemaphoreCI
- Heroku
The recruitment task demanded such features and all are provided in a required format:
- accessing
/booksdisplays all stored books, - accessing
/books?published_date=<year>displays stored books published in a certain year, - accessing
/books?sort=-published_datedisplays all stored books sorted by published date in descending order, - accessing
/books?author=<author1>&author=<author2>displays all stored books written by author1 and all stored books written by author2, - accessing
/books/<book_id>displays details of a single book of id book_id, - sending a POST request to
/dbwith aqkeyword adds 10 books to the API's database; the books come from a query sent to the Google Books API with the passed keyword and the operation will update existing books if there are such.
Furthermore, the API is deployed on Heroku from a Docker image using a CI/CD SemaphoreCI pipeline:
Room for improvement:
- sorting books with incomplete date as if they were written 1st of January, but displaying year only, instead of the current solution,
- more tests.
