Forml Assessment

Forml Assessment

Instructions

I was using Node.js 18 LTS and Python 3.10 for my project

For the backend,

1. Install backend requirements using requirements.txt

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run the server

python app.py

Server will run on port 5001

For the frontend,

1. Install the dependencies

npm install

2. Run project

ng serve

Thoughts and Approach

• I thought of first creating a barebones application for the sake of completeness.

• I also thought it would be great to have it dockerized so I tried doing that, I only need a Docker Compose and some minor modifications to get that setup complete.

• I implemented the default Flask caching but wanted to do something like Redis and the Docker setup would have really proved useful. But that was my plan.

• I did setup the socket on the backend but did not have enough time to setup the frontend connections.

• Ideally I would want to put all of this behind a reverse proxy too, but the time of the assessment isn't enough for these tasks.
