The Problem:

SSYS team is growing every month and now we need to have some application to manage employee's information and reports. As any application written at SSYS, it must have an API to allow integrations.

The Solution:

Create the "SSYS Employee Manager" app, an API that must have:

• API with employees CRUD:

  • GET: /employees/ (employee list)
  • POST: /employees/ (employee create)
  • UPDATE /employees/ID/ (employee update)
  • DELETE /employees/ID/ (employee delete)
  • GET /employees/ID/ (employee detail)

• API with reports:

  • GET /reports/employees/salary/ (salary report)
  • GET /reports/employees/age/ (age report)

• Persist data in a database

• Use authentication to access
