The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate expertise with several technologies and across the web development stack.
In python, create a script that exposes 2 ports, 11211 and 8000. On the first port, expose a subset of memcached functionality, set, get and delete. On the second port, serve a basic web site that displays the current list of key/value pairs maintained by memcached.
- The Python program must be able to accept multiple connections at once.
- The data must be persistent, i.e. stored in a database.
- The web site can be simple, but should use a modern framework.
- Values should be hidden with JS and only exposed when a user clicks to view.
- User should be able to add/update/delete key/value pairs.
- Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/mittelman29/ClientServerExercise.git- Install Memcached If you're on Mac, run:
$ brew install memcached- For all other OS flavors or for more detailed instructions: https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/Install
- Run memcached on port 11311 (default is 11211)
$ memcached -p 11311 &- Install prerequisites for data tier
$ sudo pip install python-binary-memcached- Install prerequisites for web tier
$ cd ClientServerExercise/monitoring-site
$ npm i- Build the React site
$ npm run build- Run the service
- You may choose any database name you'd like, but to see sample data populated, use 'database.sqlite'
$ cd ..
$ python main.py <db_name>- Happy hacking!
- To view the monitoring site, navigate to http://localhost:8000
- To interact with the data service, navigate to the base url(http://localhost:11211) and use the following url suffixes:
- base url + / => list all key/value pairs
- base url + /key => view single key/value pair
- base url + /set?key=value => create/update a key/value pair
- base url + /del/key => delete a key/value pair
