☁️ myClubs Backend Challenge

myClubs has grown as a company. To make the growing complexity manageable, we have moved distinct workloads to separate systems. The workload for this challenge concerns weather.

😎 Scenario

Outdoor courses are likely to be cancelled if the weather is bad so we want to be able to get a forecast for a specific workout. The product owner has provided you with some example data for workouts and would like you to implement an API endpoint where they can pass a workout and get a weather forecast for it.

We’re looking for your personal solution, so feel free to solve the challenge your own way. Nevertheless, we’re happy to help and answer any questions that arise!

👟 Getting Started

1. The project has already been initialized as a AWS CDK typescript project. AWS CDK is software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in code and provision it through AWS CloudFormation. It provides so-called Components to define infrastructure such as an AWS Api Gateway and a Lambda function – which you’ll need for this challenge – without needing to set all of this up manually in the AWS console.
2. If you’re new to AWS CDK, the typescript workshop’s “Hello CDK” chapter is a good starting point. You don’t have to do everything from scratch, though — the implementation of your task has already been started in cdk/lib/weather-stack.ts and handler/getWeather/getWeather.ts.
3. You can install the project dependencies with yarn install.

Your Task Implementation

1. Implement a function that takes the objectId of an ActivityDate (workout), loads the weather forecast from a source of your choice and responds with an object containing the ActivityDate and the weather forecast (💡 see handler/getWeather/getWeather.ts).
2. Your weather forecast function should be made available via HTTP(S) endpoint and require an API key to be accessible (💡 see cdk/lib/weather-stack.ts and the CDK documentation).
