Training Development Task
Goal:
Hands-on task forces trainee to work with our solution, have it installed, communicate with
our services. review trainee development skills.
Training Final Task:
– PaymentsDesign and build a micro service, which is handling costumer payments
requests.
The system should receive REST requests using Spring boot web servers and handle them
using RabbitMQ.
The system should receive 4 GET commands:
payCard – Payment request was done using credit card.
payPurchase – Purchase order was done.
payCash - Payment request was done using cash.
declareQueue – Define a new queue (With subject and routing key as you wish) in the
RabbitMQ.
The system should handle those different requests and produce messages about those
payment requests using RabbitMQ.
The RabbitMQ broker should contain topic exchange and 3 queues and 3 consumers:
directConsumer – consume credit and cash payments.
purchaseConsumer - consume purchase orders.
allConsumer - consume all orders.
Define the relevant broker configuration (Exchange, Queues and Routing Keys etc.)
•Write the RabbitMQ interface and configuration for using Spring plugin. (http://docs.spring.io/spring-
mqp/reference/htmlsingle/)
•Pay attention to the a-synchronization of the messages sent to RabbitMQ.
•Choose a data structure, which will be used to store the ID of produced messages and count the consumers, which
consume the messages. Pay attention to concurrency.
•Write Unitests to check your system.
•Docker:
• Create an image of your program and upload it to the Global Docker (Do not forget to
delete it afterwards).
• Use RabbitMQ image in the Global Docker.
•Comments:
• Use RabbitMQ management plugin (https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html).
• Write a high quality code -
Clean, simple, and readable, logically partitioned and designed, correctly modeled and
objected, correctly follow common Java conventions and best practices, and correctly follow
relevant design patterns.
• Embed Java8 abilities in your code.
• Use Spring Boot framework

ii. Field & Customers support
1. Field & Customers Provide fast and solid support for Tier 3 and issues arising from the field. Improve methods and give good solutions with clear guidance for Tier 3 and field engineers
2. Support our tier3 guys in Bharthi with paas 2.7 on field lab.
iii. Help app team to work with PaaS
1. Collaboration Improve cross-sites collaboration. Improve collaboration between Apps & PaaS groups Reduce misalignment with system engineer and with application developers on delivery
b. Manager’s evaluation
i. NP Offline & IM
1. You did a god job in adding a lot of troubleshooting features which reduce tier3’s interrupted
2. You collaborated well with several teams and entities.
3. Innovation – You suggested a new solution with Gal.
Eldar – It is very important to promote the innovation related to NP that we suggested, it will provide a solid and stable approach and the developers will get something interesting to develop.

1. You handled a lot of PRs and improved your experience and knowledge in HA failure points, MongoDB and Elastic search.
2. Because your sense of urgency is so high, so sometime you lose focus because of handling multiple issues at the same time
i. Central Logging and ELK upgrade
1. You leaded this epic from the beginning, gathered the information from groups, defined the requirements, wrote HLD, defined technical tasks and DD, implemented and delivered the solution on time, well
done!
Eldar - It will be better to check what’s new from time to time in newer versions
i. Took the lead of BS team
1. We dropped you into the water and you handle it well, the team already fill your managing and technical capabilities, the team has an amazing atmosphere and the new team members are filling as part
of the group generate deliverables.
Eldar – it looks good, people getting know each other and learn about PaaS eco system and they already start contribute our solution.
