This project is part of the Unbabel selection process for the DevOps position. The full challenge description can be found here.
A multi-purpose self-adjusting and self-correcting computer called MultiVAC is being developed to help us understand how to reverse the universe's entropy.
If you're confusing with the description above, see the reference.
Our MultiVAC is currently in the form of a single application that uses a Web API through HTTP with a limited number of Endpoints.
The MultiVAC can anwser only one question:
* How can the entropy of the universe be reversed?
To do that, the user can perform two possible actions:
* Add new data
* Ask the question
Endpoint mapping
| Function | Method | Endpoint | Body Params |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add new data | POST | /multivac/data | data: String (form) |
| Ask the question | GET | /multivac | - |
App Architecture
* Flask Server
* Worker Machines
* Redis Server
* MongoDB
For a more detailed infomation, see the Design Proposal.
Note: The design proposal addresses the challenge Planning phase.
You can run the MultiVAC locally.
It is also possible to deploy MultiVAC in a Kubernetes cluster.
There are tutorials to seting up a CI system and debuging too.
Note: This section addresses the challenge Execution phase.
"The Last Question" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov.
