We aim to develop a composite application utilizing Docker and docker-compose, which comprises minimum five services: your Django REST Framework endpoint, query converter service(django, flask, fastapi etc.), logger service(celery or implement your handler if possible), a message queue service and an Elasticsearch service. The Django REST Framework endpoint should include minimum two features:
-
Authentication Mechanism: We are looking for an authentication method similar to JWT. For instance, if there is a user with the username "octoAdmin," we would add an Authorization header as "Octoxlabs base64(octoAdmin)". This token should uniquely identify the user "octoAdmin".
-
Endpoint: Consider having data structured as an array like [{"Hostname": "octoxlabs01", "Ip": ["0.0.0.0"]}] stored in the Elasticsearch service. We expect to query your endpoint with "Hostname = octoxlabs*" and have this query translated into the JSON format for Elasticsearch. Please avoid using query_string in Elasticsearch, if possible. The scenario involves the endpoint converting the "Hostname = octoxlabs*" query into an Elasticsearch-compatible format, querying Elasticsearch, and then returning the data in the response.
POST /search { "query": "Hostname = octoxlabs*" }Hint: Elasticsearch indices have mappings, and their fields have properties like "keyword." For example, if you create an index in Elasticsearch named "octoxlabsdata," you can access its mapping with "GET /octoxlabsdata/_mapping".
Scenario: End-user send query request to django endpoint, django ask to converter service this query for elasticsearch-compatible format, send it to elasticsearch and return the results for frontend. Queries sent by the end-user should be logged in file or another elasticsearch indice by logger service.
Advantages of completing this case study include:
- Implementing unit tests.
- Implementing code quality tools.
- A management command that interacts with your endpoint.
- ! Security.
