Rest API implemented in Spring Boot and deployed on aws ec2.

Requirement

Implement a web-app using java spring-boot. We do not expect a UI but all interactions must be via REST APIs. Expecting following functionalities :

  • A user should be able to create his profile.
  • A user should be able to add another user in his friend list. Friend list is mutual i.e if A is friend of B, then B is also friend of A.
  • A user should be able to remove another user from his friend list. 4. A user should be able to view his friend list.
  • Given an input integer K, a user should be able to view all connections at distance K from him.
  • Distance is defined as the minimum steps needed to reach from user A to user B. Some examples for more clarity.
    • For example, if A is a friend of B, then distance of B from A is 1.
    • A is friend of B. B is a friend of C. C is a friend of D. Then Distance(A,D) = 3
    • A ⇔ B , B ⇔ C, C ⇔ D, D ⇔ E, C ⇔ E. In this case Distance(A,E) = 3 as E can be reached via C.
  • You can either use some database or some in-memory data structure to store information.

Technology stack

  • Spring Boot
  • Spring Data JPA
  • Amazon RDS (MySQL)
  • Amazon AWS EC2
