auction

An auction system

Problem statement

• An auction system which can auction bids and select the winning bid such that it always responds before a specific time interval.

Current state of development

• Information is not persistant.
• Auctioner needs to be up & running before bidders.
• 1 Auctioner & 3 Bidders. (Bidders can be increased easily).
• Synchronization is currenty handeled through channels.

Steps to run:

• greedy/auctioner go run main.go
• greedy/bidder go run main.go
• greedy/bidder1 go run main.go
• greedy/bidder2 go run main.go

Endpoints:

• Fetch all registered bidder endpoints GET : http://localhost:8080/bidder

• Run an auction POST: http://localhost:8080/auction

Future Enhancements:

• Dockerize the application.
• start the application with doker-compose.
• grpc implementaion.
• implement websocket connection for Auctioner & bidder communication.
• Authentication [could be session based, token based, jwt etc.]
• Better routing implementation.
• scale it for 1000X number of bidders.
• write test cases.
• use go mod to restructure the project.
• async processing through any messaging queue application [RabbitMq, Redis, Kafka etc.]
• and so on....
