Problem definition

Create a tiny RESTful web service with the following business requirements:

• Application must expose REST API endpoints for the following functionality:
  • apply for loan (loan amount, term, name, surname and personal id must be provided)
  • list all approved loans
  • list all approved loans by user
• Service must perform loan application validation according to the following rules and reject application if:
  • Application comes from blacklisted personal id
  • N application / second are received from a single country (essentially we want to limit number of loan applications coming from a country in a given timeframe)
• Service must perform origin country resolution using a web service (you should choose one) and store country code together with the loan application. Because network is unreliable and services tend to fail, let's agree on default country code - "lv".

Technical requirements

You have total control over framework and tools, as long as application is written in Java. Feel free to write tests in any JVM language.

What gets evaluated

• Conformance to business requirements
• Code quality, including testability
• How easy it is to run and deploy the service (don't make us install Oracle database please ;)

Good luck and have fun!
