Test workflow

Hi, If you are viewing this, it is because you scaled through to the next round of the recruitment for the DevOps position at Wafi. Congratulations 🎉✨.

At Wafi, we use the microservice software architecture. The microservices approach to software development helps teams deploy faster, but it comes with some issues, one of them is data consistency. How can data change in microservice A be propagated to microservice B and C? Send it via an event?

Yes, that works but what if B updates itself and C had an hiccups and just could not make the update 🙄.

Then that means we need to have a mechanism that allows us to handle such failures, make retries and what-else? Just how many of the situations like above do we have to write failures and retry logic for?

At Wafi, we use Temporal as a microservice orchestrator which helps solve the issues stated above for us.

Your task

• Deploy a temporal cluster for production. Follow the deployment guide here. A plus is if you are able to implement any of the security considerations stated here

• Package this temporal app as a docker image

  • write a CICD for the app.
  • deploy the app using Kubernetes
  • How would you improve this app?

This is required for the worker to be up

go run ./worker/main.go

​

Execute the helloworkflow

go run ./starter/main.go

Please note that the temporal server needs to be up before the above commands work

See you soon 👋🏻.
