Ericsson Technical Task

Project demonstrates client-side mirroring the server-side user-inputs via inter-container communication means.

Overview

• Server-Side: Python using pika, readchar and python-dotenv libraries
• Client-Side: C# using dependency injection and Rabbitmq client libraries.
• Docker used as containerizing solution

Installation

This project assumes Windows OS as the target machine with Docker installed to demo the application.

• Clone the repository.
• Open two terminals or split one side-by-side.
• On both terminals, change to the cloned directory.
• Run docker-compose run --rm server on one terminal.
• Wait until message_broker container is created(shared dependency), then run docker-compose run --rm client.
• Both sides are up when both terminals indicate by saying Connected!.
• Switch to the server-side and type something.
• Observe that the client terminal mirrors user inputs on the server side.

Further Enhancements

• Unit tests + Integration Tests.
• Handle any/if edge cases.
• Decouple message broker service from rabbitmq implementationd details.
