The goal of these exercises are to assess your proficiency in software engineering that is related to the daily work that we do at Xendit. Please follow the instructions below to complete the assessment.
- Create a new repository in your own github profile named
backend-coding-test
and commit the contents of this folder - Ensure
node (>8.6 and <= 10)
andnpm
are installed - Run
npm install
- Run
npm test
- Run
npm start
- Hit the server to test health
curl localhost:8010/health
and expect a200
response
Below will be your set of tasks to accomplish. Please work on each of these tasks in order. Success criteria will be defined clearly for each task

Please implement the following tooling:
eslint
- for lintingnyc
- for code coveragepre-push
- for git pre push hook running testswinston
- for logging
- Create a pull request against
master
of your fork with the new tooling and merge iteslint
should have an opinionated formatnyc
should aim for test coverage of80%
across lines, statements, and branchespre-push
should run the tests before allowing pushing usinggit
winston
should be used to replace console logs and all errors should be logged as well. Logs should go to disk.
- Ensure that tooling is connected to
npm test
- Create a separate pull request against
master
of your fork with the linter fixes and merge it - Create a separate pull request against
master
of your fork to increase code coverage to acceptable thresholds and merge it - [BONUS] Add integration to CI such as Travis or Circle
- [BONUS] Add Typescript support
Please implement pagination to retrieve pages of the resource rides
.
- Create a pull request against
master
with your changes to theGET /rides
endpoint to support pagination including:- Code changes
- Tests
- Documentation
- Merge the pull request
Please implement the following refactors of the code:
- Convert callback style code to use
async/await
- Reduce complexity at top level control flow logic and move logic down and test independently
- [BONUS] Split between functional and imperative function and test independently
- A pull request against
master
of your fork for each of the refactors above with:- Code changes
- Tests
Please implement the following security controls for your system:
- Ensure the system is not vulnerable to SQL injection
- [BONUS] Implement an additional security improvement of your choice
- A pull request against
master
of your fork with:- Changes to the code
- Tests ensuring the vulnerability is addressed
Please implement load testing to ensure your service can handle a high amount of traffic
- Implement load testing using
artillery
- Create a PR against
master
of your fork including artillery - Ensure that load testing is able to be run using
npm test:load
. You can consider using a tool likeforever
to spin up a daemon and kill it after the load test has completed. - Test all endpoints under at least
100 rps
for30s
and ensure thatp99
is under50ms
- Create a PR against
