Database server tech test

The brief

You receive a message from a prospective employer:

"Before your interview, write a program that runs a server that is accessible on http://localhost:4000/. When your server receives a request on http://localhost:4000/set?somekey=somevalue it should store the passed key and value in memory. When it receives a request on http://localhost:4000/get?key=somekey it should return the value stored at somekey.

If you finish, you can work on saving the data to a file."

Create a new git repository and write code to fulfil the brief to the best of your ability. Store the data in memory, not in a database, but bear in mind that you will later need to add a database to this code.

Progress

• Initialise app and start server
• Write feature tests for storing key/value
• Pass feature tests
• Write feature tests for returning value
• Pass final feature test

Running the server

$ git clone https://github.com/andygjenkins/server_tt.git
$ cd server_tt
$ bundle
$ ruby app.rb
